Description

The claim by Choi et al.[C.-R. Choi, D.-Y. Lee, Y.-H. Kim, and N. C. Lee, Phys. Plasmas 16, 043701 (2009)] that different solitary wave types (humps, dips, and kinks) can be combined in one smooth profile is completely erroneous and contravenes generic rules for pseudopotential treatments.
