Abstract

It is shown that in the "Comment on 'Deformed Fokker-Planck equation: Inhomogeneous medium with a position-dependent mass,"' three crucial observations have gone unnoticed, thus restricting its conclusion on the legitimacy of the Langevin equation for a position-dependent mass, Eq. (46) of da Costa et al. [Phys. Rev. E 102, 062105 (2020)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.102.062105].
