Abstract : Let G and H be respectively a graph and a hypergraph defined on a same set of vertices, and let F be a fixed graph. We say that G F -overlays a hyperedge S of H if F is a spanning subgraph of the subgraph of G induced by S, and that it F -overlays H if it F -overlays every hyperedge of H. Motivated by structural biology, we study the computational complexity of two problems. The first problem, $(∆ ≤ k) F -$Overlay, consists in deciding whether there is a graph with maximum degree at most k that F -overlays a given hypergraph H. It is a particular case of the second problem Max $(∆ ≤ k) F -$Overlay, which takes a hypergraph H and an integer s as input, and consists in deciding whether there is a graph with maximum degree at most k that F -overlays at least s hyperedges of H. We give a complete polynomial/NP-complete dichotomy for the Max $(∆ ≤ k)-F -$Overlay prob-lems depending on the pairs (F, k), and establish the complexity of $(∆ ≤ k) F -$Overlay for many pairs (F, k).
