I INTRODUCTION
A key property of entanglement is known as monogamy relations [1, 2], that is, entanglement cannot be freely shared unconditionally among the multipartite quantum systems. The first mathematical characterization of monogamy relation was known as the monogamy inequality for three-qubit quantum state in terms of squared concurrence, and it is called CKW-inequality [1]. Furthermore, Osborne and Verstraete generalized this monogamy inequality to arbitrary multiqubit systems [3]. Later, the same monogamy inequality was also generalized to other entanglement measures such as entanglement negativity [4] and entanglement of formation [5]. Monogamy relations are used to characterize the distribution of entanglement in multipartite systems. Moreover, the monogamy property has many important applications in quantum information theory [6], condensed-matter physics [7] and even black-hole physics [8].
As a generalization of entanglement of formation, the Rényi- entanglement is a well-defined entanglement measure, and has been widely used in the study of quantum information theory [9, 10]. It has been shown that if , the Rényi- entanglement satisfies the monogamy relations in -qubit systems [11]. When , the squared Rényi- entanglement satisfies the monogamy relations in -qubit systems [12]. Recently, a class of tight monogamy relations were derived in multiqubit systems [13-16]. In this paper, we establish a class of tight monogamy relations of multiqubit entanglement in terms of Rényi- entanglement related to the power of the Rényi- entanglement, which are tighter than the results in [12, 15, 16].

III TIGHTER MONOGAMY RELATIONS FOR RÉNYI- ENTANGLEMENT
In the following, we establish a class of tight Rényi- entanglement monogamy relations related to the power . We first provide the following lemma.

Without loss of generality, we assume , then we obtain
[TABLE]
Here the inequality is due to Lemma 1.
Let us first consider an -qubit pure state . The entanglement and are related by the function in Eq. (7) since the subsystem can be regarded as a logic qubit. Thus, we can obtain
[TABLE]
where we have utilized the monogamy inequality (5) and the monotonically increasing property of the function to obtain the the first inequality, the second inequality is due to Eq. (13) by letting and , the other inequalities are from iterative use of Eq. (13) and Eq. (8). In fact, we also use the conditions and , . Since for any two-qubit state , when , , we obtain the last equality.
Next, let us consider an -qubit mixed state . Suppose that the optimal decomposition for is . Thus, we have
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Here in the second inequality we have used the monogamy inequality (5) and the monotonically increasing property of the function . By iterative use of inequality (13), we have the third inequality. As a matter of fact, the conditions and , , have been used. Since for any two-qubit state , when , , one gets the last equality, and the proof is completed.
Based on the Lemma 2, if some and some , we have the following conclusion.
Lemma 3. For an -qubit state , if for , and for , then

Combining inequalities (18) and (19), we have Lemma 3.
Now, we present a tight monogamy relation for .
Lemma 4. For an -qubit state , if for , then
[TABLE]
for and the power , where .
Proof. From the inequality (9), for , we have
[TABLE]
Without loss of generality, we assume , according to Lemma 1, we have
[TABLE]
By using inequalities (13) and (14) and the similar consideration in the proof of Lemma 2, we obtain Lemma 4. If some and some , then we have the following lemma.
Lemma 5. For an -qubit state , if for , and for , then
[TABLE]
for and the power , where .
We note that for , , for all , Lemma 4 and Lemma 5 give a tighter monogamy relation with larger lower bounds than the result in [12, 15, 16].
IV CONCLUSION
As a fundamental problem in quantum entanglement theory, multipartite entanglement has attracted increasing interest over the last 20 years. We have investigated the monogamy relations related to the power of the Rényi- entanglement for -qubit state. When and the power , we derive a tighter monogamy relation than the monogamy relations just based on the power of the Rényi- entanglement. For and the power , we give a tighter monogamy relation with larger lower bounds than the result in [12, 15, 16]. Our result can provide a useful methodology to study further the monogamy properties of the multiparty quantum entanglement.
