A proof of Jordan curve theorem based on the sweepline algorithm for trapezoidal decomposition of a polygon

Apurva Mudgal · 2026

We prove the Jordan curve theorem by generalizing the sweepline algorithm for trapezoidal decomposition of a polygon. Our proof uses Zorn's lemma (or, equivalently the axiom of choice). Though several…
