We study the distribution of quantum correlations characterized by monogamy
relations in multipartite systems. By using the Hamming weight of the binary
vectors associated with the subsystems, we establish a class of monogamy
inequalities for multiqubit entanglement based on the αth (α≥2) power of concurrence, and a class of polygamy inequalities for multiqubit
entanglement in terms of the βth (0≤β≤2) power of
concurrence and concurrence of assistance. Moveover, we give the monogamy and
polygamy inequalities for general quantum correlations. Application of these
results to quantum correlations like squared convex-roof extended negativity
(SCREN), entanglement of formation and Tsallis-q entanglement gives rise to
either tighter inequalities than the existing ones for some classes of quantum
states or less restrictions on the quantum states. Detailed examples are
presented
