Abstract The monogamy and polygamy properties of quantum entanglement characterize fundamental constraints on the distribution of entanglement in multipartite quantum systems. In this paper, we investigate tighter monogamy and polygamy relations for multipartite entanglement. By establishing a new mathematical inequality, we derive a family of improved monogamy and polygamy inequalities for tripartite quantum systems and further extend these results to general multipartite systems. Comparisons with existing results show that the obtained bounds are tighter. Illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed relations.
For a bipartite entanglement measure
E that satisfies the
γth-power monogamy inequality (Eq.~\eqref{e:chap1-ineq1}), and for its assisted counterpart
Ea that obeys the
δth-power polygamy inequality (Eq.~\eqref{e:chap1-ineq2}), we introduce a unified, tunable framework indexed by a parameter
m≥1. Within this framework, we derive two hierarchical families of refined inequalities:
a tightened
α-power monogamy relation for
E, valid for all
α≥mγ;
a tightened
β-power polygamy relation for
Ea, applicable for
(m−1)δ<β≤mδ.
As
m increases, the bounds become progressively tighter, recovering known results at
m=1. Notably, the optimal monogamy bound emerges as a piecewise function of
α, with additional correction terms activated as
α crosses successive integer thresholds, thereby offering a sharper characterization of entanglement distribution.
We demonstrate that our results generalize and strengthen existing monogamy and polygamy relations through analytical comparisons and numerical evaluations using concurrence and concurrence of assistance. This hierarchical, parameterized approach offers enhanced and flexible tools for applications in quantum communication, quantum networks, and multipartite quantum information processing.

Monogamy and polygamy relations are essential properties of quantum entanglement, which characterize the distributions of entanglement in multipartite systems. In this paper, we establish the general monogamy relations for γ-th (0 ≤ γ ≤ α, α ≥ 1) power of quantum entanglement based on unified-(q,s) entanglement and polygamy relations for δ-th (δ ≥ β, 0 ≤ β ≤ 1) power of entanglement of assistance based on unified-(q,s) entanglement of assistance, which provides a complement to the previous research in terms of different parameter regions of γ and δ. These results are then applied to specific quantum correlations, e.g., entanglement of formation, Renyi-q entanglement of assistance and Tsallis-q entanglement of assistance to get the corresponding monogamy and polygamy inequalities. Moreover, typical examples are presented for illustration.
Monogamy and polygamy relations are important properties of entanglement, which characterize the entanglement distribution of multipartite systems. We explore monogamy and polygamy relations of entanglement in multipartite systems by using two newly derived parameterized mathematical inequalities, and establish classes of parameterized monogamy and polygamy relations of multiqubit entanglement in terms of concurrence and entanglement of formation. We show that these new parameterized monogamy and poelygamy inequalities are tighter than the existing ones by detailed examples.
