Abstract
The extensive property of a macrovariable is proved for a quantal system whose Hamiltonian depends on time and for a stochastic system whose temporal evolution operator depends on time. These generalized situations are concerned with bulk-contact open systems. The extensive property, fluctuation, and nonlinear relaxation are investigated explicitly by calculating rigorously generating functions in exactly soluble models such as the linear stochastic model and linearXY model. The relation between the nonlinear critical slowing down and linear critical slowing down is also discussed.
