ABSTRACT

The proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem (JCT) in this paper is focused on a graphic illustration and analysis ways so as to make the topological proof more understandable, and is based on the Tverberg’s method, which is acknowledged as being quite esoteric with no graphic explanations. The preliminary constructs a parametrisation model for Jordan Polygons. It takes quite a length to introduce four lemmas since the proof by Jordan Polygon is the approach we want to concern about. Lemmas show that JCT holds for Jordan polygon and Jordan curve could be approximated uniformly by a sequence of Jordan polygons. Also, lemmas provide a certain metric description of Jordan polygons to help evaluate the limit. The final part is the proof of the theorem on the premise of introduced preliminary and lemmas.
