Monogamy of entanglement for tripartite systems

We study the monogamy of arbitrary quantum entanglement measures $E$ for tripartite quantum systems. Both sufficient and necessary conditions for $E$ to be monogamous in terms of the $\alpha$th power of $E$ are explicitly derived. It is shown that such monogamy of a entanglement measure $E$ only depends on the boundedness of the solution set of certain equations. Moreover, the monogamy conditions have been also obtained with respect to certain subsets of quantum states for a given quantum correlation. Detailed examples are given to illustrate our results.
