NUMERICAL-METHOD FOR COLORED-NOISE GENERATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO A BISTABLE SYSTEM - COMMENT

In the preceding Comment [Phys. Rev. A 46, 8028 (1992)], Mannella and Palleschi critique the power spectral density method of colored-noise generation and its application to the bistable potential [Phys. Rev. A 42, 7492 (1990)]. These writers make a critical analysis of the outlined advantages of the method and compare it to the stochastic differential equation approach. A reply to the Comment is given based on the work that was presented without adding any new results. It is emphasized that the primary intent of the original paper was to present an option for generating colored noise for use in many statistical physics problems.
