I would like to define a region in (x,y) by combining the region

RegionPlot[
 ImplicitRegion[
  Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] <= 0.99, {{x, 0.01, 0.99}, {y, 0.01, 0.99}}]]

with a curve that I obtain in the form of following list of data points

  0.738813}}

So at the end I want to define a region similar to this 

\[ScriptCapitalR] = 
 ImplicitRegion[
  Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] radius <= 0.99 radius && (y - 0.365) < 0.4 x, {{x, 
    0.01, 0.99}, {y, 0.01, 0.99}}]

where I used for simplicity the curve y = 0.4x+0.365, while I need the boundary defined by curve described by the aforementioned datapoints. I need it as a region over which I want to integrate a function f[x,y] later on.

  • $\begingroup$ Why not construct an interpolating function out of your points and then use ParametricRegion[]? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The standard interpolation function doesn't work on such a list of data. I have tried to workaround with descriptions over here mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/47332/… but I am stuck. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Briefly I extracted that from a contour plot of a function f[x,y] and it in principal represents the boundary where the value of the function is zero. In other words it is a zero value contour and afterwords I want to integrate the f[x,y] over the region where the function is nonnegative. Just a small notice that the function I speak about is complicated and contains summations with 1000 terms with legendre polynomials. But maybe there is another way to do that. I just thought that if I find the region over which I want to integrate it will be easier but maybe I am wrong. $\endgroup$

One big obstacle with your data is that it can't be defined as a single-valued function of x - it curves backward at the end. If I take your data and define it as pts, then we can see what we are going for here

Show[
 RegionPlot[
  ImplicitRegion[
   Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] == 0.99, {{x, 0.01, 0.99}, {y, 0.01, 0.99}}]],
 Graphics@Line@pts]

Mathematica graphics

The trick I'll use is to take y as the independent variable, and so we can make a single-valued function from it. Then we can use ImplicitRegion and RegionPlot

RegionPlot[
 ImplicitRegion[
  Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] <= 0.99 && 
   x >= curve[y], {{x, 0.01, 0.99}, {y, 0.01, 0.99}}]]

enter image description here

and be once-again totally dissappointed with the combination of these two functions. But there is hope, 

DiscretizeRegion[
 ImplicitRegion[
  Sqrt[x^2 + y^2] <= 0.99 && 
   x >= curve[y], {{x, 0.01, 0.99}, {y, 0.01, 0.99}}], 
 MaxCellMeasure -> .001]
RegionPlot@%

Mathematica graphics

which is the sought-after region.
