Archipelagos of Total Bound and Free Entanglement. II

In the indicated preceding preprint (I), we reported the results of, in particular interest here, certain three-parameter qubit-ququart ($2 \times 4$) and two-ququart ($4 \times 4$) analyses. In them, we relied upon entanglement constraints given by Li and Qiao. However, further studies of ours conclusively show--using the well-known necessary and sufficient conditions for positive-semidefiniteness that all leading minors (of separable components, in this context) be nonnegative--that certain of the constraints given are flawed and need to be replaced (by weaker ones). Doing so, leads to a new set of results, somewhat qualitatively different and, in certain respects, simpler in nature. For example, bound-entanglement probabilities of $\frac{2}{3} \left(\sqrt{2}-1\right) \approx 0.276142$, $\frac{1}{4} \left(3-2 \log ^2(2)-\log (4)\right) \approx 0.1632$, $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{3 π^2} \approx 0.432453$ and $\frac{1}{6}$, are reported for various implementations of constraints. We also adopt the Li-Qiao three-parameter framework to a two-parameter one, with interesting visual results.
