I don't think you have communicated what sort of meaning is attached to the word "satisfies".

Here's a double loop that reports membership of the column names of each row of U (Dataframe2) in each row of R (Dataframe1):

 apply( Dataframe2, 1, function(x){ z <- which(x==1);
                                   z2 <- names(x)[z];  
                        zlist=apply(Dataframe1, 1, function(y){ z3 <- which(y==1); 
                                                                z4 <- names(y)[z3]; 
                                                                z4[ which(z4 %in% z2) ]}); 
                        zlist})
$U1
$U1$R1
[1] "C2" "C4"

$U1$R2
[1] "C1" "C4"

$U1$R3
[1] "C1"


$U2
$U2$R1
[1] "C2" "C4"

$U2$R2
[1] "C1" "C3" "C4"

$U2$R3
[1] "C1"
