In this paper, we provide two extensions of recent explicit results on the matrix-product ansatz for the non-equilibrium steady state of a Markovian boundary-driven anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ spin-1/2 chain. We write a perturbative solution for the steady-state density matrix in the system–bath coupling for an arbitrary (asymmetric) set of four spin-flip rates at the two chain ends, generalizing the symmetric-driving ansatz of Prosen (2011 Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 217206). Furthermore, we generalize the exact (non-perturbative) form of the steady state for just two Lindblad channels (spin-up flipping on the left and spin-down flipping on the right) to an arbitrary (asymmetric) ratio of the spin-flipping rates (Prosen 2011 Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 137201). In addition, we also indicate a simple proof of the uniqueness of our steady states.
