In conclusion, by assuming that the initial state is prepared as a microcanonical ensemble, the actual state at time t=T can be replaced by another microcanonical ensemble in the evaluation of macroscopic quantities. The derivation is based on the high dimensionality of the Hilbert space, and restrictions for the system size dependence of observables as well as the perturbative treatment of the unitary transformation of the energy eigenstates. The validity of the uniformly random sampling assumption for [numerical formula] is numerically verified for a nonintegrable spin chain. It is also remarked that the initial state can be out of equilibrium, i.e. the initial density matrix is [numerical formula] with a unitary transformation U_0, since this can be regarded as the state evolved from an actual initial state [numerical formula].
