Abstract
The evolution of an isolated system in an external field are investigated. The ensemble averages of the response on successive constant internal energy surfaces are compared to the ensemble averages of steady-state responses constrained to the same energy. It is found that the two ensemble averages converge for sufficiently high energies, irrespective of the field strength and the initial energy from which the adiabatic evolution starts.
