Multilinear monogamy relations for multiqubit states

The monogamy of entanglement means that entanglement cannot be freely shared. In 2014, Oliveira et al. [T. R. de Oliveira, M. F. Cornelio, and F. F. Fanchini, Phys. Rev. A 89, 034303 (2014)] proposed a monogamy relation in the linear version and considered it in terms of entanglement of formation. Here we generalize the above version and consider a multilinear monogamy relation for a multiqubit system in terms of entanglement of formation and concurrence. Based on the above results, we present an entanglement criterion for genuine entangled states; also we consider the absolutely maximally entangled states and present what an absolutely maximally entangled state is for a three-qubit system. Last, we apply our results to a three-qubit pure state in terms of quantum discord.
