26. This normalization requirement of these functions is inessential for our discussion.
27. We noticed that, if the last two terms of Eq. 5 was absent and - L+ was replaced by L, the equation would be analogous to Eq. (59) derived by P. Ao [Commun. Theor. Phys. 49, 1073 (2008)]. But his result has the same flaw as HS's. 10.1088/0253-6102/49/5/01
28. It may be intriguing to investigate whether the solution of Eq. 5 with Eq. 18 has a stochastic representation on the original stochastic system 2.
