Reply to a comment by C. R. Willis on Phys. Rev. E 62, R60 (2000), to appear in Physical Review E

In this reply to the comment by C. R. Willis, we show, by quoting his own statements, that the simulations reported in his original work with Boesch [Phys. Rev. B 42, 2290 (1990)] were done for kinks with nonzero initial velocity, in contrast to what Willis claims in his comment. We further show that his alleged proof, which assumes among other approximations that kinks are initially at rest, is not rigorous but an approximation. Moreover, there are other serious misconceptions which we discuss in our reply. As a consequence, our result that quasimodes do not exist in the sG equation [Phys. Rev. E 62, R60 (2000)] remains true.
