The article consists of three parts. The first part provides information from the theory of cohomology of small categories and cohomology of simplicial sets with systems of coefficients. The second part is devoted to Laudal's Theorem stating that covering cohomology for an arbitrary topological space with coefficients in the presheaf of Abelian groups is isomorphic to the derived limit functors. The third part presents the main results. The criterion for the invariance of cohomology groups of small categories when passing to the inverse image leads to necessary and sufficient isomorphism conditions for the \v{C}ech cohomology of an arbitrary presheaf and the topos cohomology of the sheaf generated by this presheaf. In particular, for a finite poset, these conditions reduce to the acyclicity of the upper secrions of Dedekind-MacNeille cuts having a non-empty lower section, and the verification of these conditions is algorithmically computable.Read More
