A family of discrete-time exactly-solvable exclusion processes on a one-dimensional lattice

A two-parameter family of discrete-time exactly-solvable exclusion processes on a one-dimensional lattice is introduced, which contains the asymmetric simple exclusion process and the drop-push model as particular cases. The process is rewritten in terms of boundary conditions, and the conditional probabilities are calculated using the Bethe-ansatz. This is the discrete-time version of the continuous-time processes already investigated in [1-3]. The drift- and diffusion-rates of the particles are also calculated for the two-particle sector.
