Recent work [1, 2] underlines the importance of polynomial SL invariants for classification and quantification of multipartite entanglement. For mixed states, the corresponding monotones are defined through convex-roof extension. In addition to the difficulties of calculating the convex roof, starting with four qubits there exists a continuum of monotones to choose from.
We study the mixed state entanglement of GHZ diagonal states of four
qubits by calculating selected monotones. We discuss the implications
for the classification of mixed state entanglement and compare with
other criteria for entanglement in multipartite mixed states [3].
