Zusammenfassung:This Comment is devoted to some mathematical inaccuracies made by the authors of the paper 'Information hidden in the velocity distribution of ions and the exact kinetic Bohm criterion' (Plasma Sources Science and Technology 26 055003). In the Comment, we show that the diapason of plasma parameters for the validity of the theoretical results obtained by the authors was defined incorrectly; we made a more accurate definition of this diapason. As a result, we show that it is impossible to confirm or refute the feasibility of the Bohm kinetic criterion on the basis of the data of the cited paper.
