  A semitotal dominating set of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertex is a
dominating set $D$ of $G$ such that every vertex in $D$ is within distance two
of another vertex in $D$. The minimum size $\gamma_{t2}(G)$ of a semitotal
dominating set of $G$ is squeezed between the domination number $\gamma(G)$ and
the total domination number $\gamma_{t}(G)$.
  \textsc{Semitotal Dominating Set} is the problem of finding, given a graph
$G$, a semitotal dominating set of $G$ of size $\gamma_{t2}(G)$. In this paper,
we continue the systematic study on the computational complexity of this
problem when restricted to special graph classes. In particular, we show that
it is solvable in polynomial time for the class of graphs with bounded
mim-width by a reduction to \textsc{Total Dominating Set} and we provide
several approximation lower bounds for subclasses of subcubic graphs. Moreover,
we obtain complexity dichotomies in monogenic classes for the decision versions
of \textsc{Semitotal Dominating Set} and \textsc{Total Dominating Set}.
  Finally, we show that it is $\mathsf{NP}$-complete to recognise the graphs
such that $\gamma_{t2}(G) = \gamma_{t}(G)$ and those such that $\gamma(G) =
\gamma_{t2}(G)$, even if restricted to be planar and with maximum degree at
most $4$, and we provide forbidden induced subgraph characterisations for the
graphs heriditarily satisfying either of these two equalities.
