Reply to Comment on "Source coding with Tsallis entropy"

The authors of [1] were unaware of this one sentence in [2] (page 3237): ´Since the Renyi and Tsallis entropy are related by a simple monotone transformation, inequalities similar to (8) and (20) exist with Tsallis entropy bounds.´, and concerning the subject addressed in [1]. It is true that this sentence of [2] announces the possibility of the coding theorem which is explicitly worked out in [1]. In this respect, [2] should indeed be recognised for this contribution.
