Abstract : In the Red-Blue Dominating Set problem, we are given a bipartite graph $G = (V_B \cup V_R,E)$ and an integer $k$, and asked whether $G$ has a subset $D \subseteq V_B$ of at most $k$'blue' vertices such that each 'red' vertex from $V_R$ is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. We provide the first explicit linear kernel for this problem on planar graphs.
