Abstract
The integral of a spherical Bessel function times a spherical Neumann function was evaluated long ago using the fundamental Weber-Schafheitlin integral, is in any good integral table, and has precisely the value we assigned it in a previous Comment [Phys. Rev. B 39, 10 415 (1989)]. Badralexe and Freeman, in the Reply [Phys. Rev. B 39, 10 415 (1989)] to that Comment, incorrectly assert that this integral is not convergent. Based on this assertion they conclude that the analytic proof that the multiple-scattering band theory we previously derived exactly solves the empty-lattice test is in error. This integral is mathematically well defined and our previous conclusions are correct.
