Reply to "Comment on 'Surface restructuring, kinetic oscillations, and chaos in heterogeneous catalytic reactions' ".
In my numeration, the criticism of my simulations of kinetic oscillations in NO reduction by H2 on Pt(100) [V. P. Zhdanov, Phys. Rev. E 59, 6292 (1999)] by Kuzovkov, Kortlüke, and von Niessen [preceding paper, Phys. Rev. 63, 023101 (2001)] contains 19 comments. I show that four comments are irrelevant. The other 15 comments are wrong, because they either contradict the basic principles of the theory of phase transitions, Monte Carlo simulations, and catalytic chemistry or ignore numerous experimental data on adsorbate-induced restructuring of the Pt(100) surface.
