Abstract

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 77, 062511 (2008)], it was advocated to modify the variational principle for the action-integral functional in the Runge-Gross foundation of time-dependent density-functional theory. This was criticised in a subsequent paper [Phys. Rev. A 62, 052510 (2010)] by the present author. In a Comment [Phys. Rev. A 83, 046501 (2011)], it is argued that the criticism is unfounded. This is a response as given to the four specific points raised in the Comment, clarifying and confirming the essence of the original criticism.
