Reply to "Comment on "Troublesome aspects of the Renyi-MaxEnt treatment""

TL;DR

This paper refutes a previous comment by clarifying that their Tsallis distribution differs from the one discussed earlier, thus invalidating the comment's conclusions.

Contribution

It clarifies the distinction between the two Tsallis distributions, defending the original paper against the prior critique.

Findings

The Tsallis distribution in our paper is different from that in the comment.

The previous critique does not apply to our distribution.

Our results remain valid despite the comment.

Abstract

This Reply is intended as a refutation of the preceding Comment [Oikonomou and Bagci, Phys. Rev. E 96, 056101 (2017)] on our paper [Plastino et al., Phys. Rev. E 94, 012145 (2016).]. We show that the Tsallis probability distribution of our paper does not coincide with the Tsallis distribution studied by Oikonomou and Bagci. Consequently, their findings do not apply to our paper.
