Existence of an ordinary polygonal drawing

Proved
OrdinaryPolygonalDrawingNonempty

crossing-numbergeometrygraph-theory

Every finite simple graph admits at least one ordinary polygonal drawing:

Nonempty⁡(OrdinaryPolygonalDrawing⁡(G)).\operatorname{Nonempty}(\operatorname{OrdinaryPolygonalDrawing}(G)).Nonempty(OrdinaryPolygonalDrawing(G)).

The result provides the nonemptiness needed to take a minimum over drawing crossing sets. It is a structural existence statement, independent of any crossing-number bound.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
