In this paper, we consider the problem of reducing the semitotal domination number of a given graph by contracting kedges, for some fixed k ≥1. We show that this can always be done with at most 3 edge contractions and further characterise those graphs requiring 1, 2 or 3 edge contractions, respectively, to decrease their semitotal domination number. We then study the complexity of the problem for k =1 and obtain in particular a complete complexity dichotomy for monogenic classes.
