Abstract
In a recent paper referred to in the title, the author used the concept of quasi self-adjointness to obtain conservation laws for a system of the (2+1)-dimensional Bogoyavlensky–Konopelchenko equation. Apart from the adjoint system of equations, all the results on the quasi self-adjointness and the subsequent conservation laws obtained are inaccurate. In this comment, we clarify these inaccuracies and also generate conservation laws for a potential form of the underlying equation through Noether theorem.
