Abstract: When combining belief functions by the conjunctive rules of combination, conflicts often appear, which are assigned to empty set by un-normalized conjunctive rule or normalized by Dempster's rule of combination. This contribution is devoted to an interpretation of the conflicting part of a belief function on a two-element frame of discernment. It is based on the author's idea of the unique decomposition of such function into its conflicting and non-conflicting part (CJS 2010, Otaru). A relation of conflicting part of a belief function to internal conflict of the function is also studied and a new definition of internal conflict is introduced. New internal conflict is compared with the previous approaches. Keywords: Belief function, Dempster-Shafer theory, uncertainty, Dempster's semigroup, internal conflict, conflict between belief functions, non-conflicting part of belief function, conflicting part of belief function.
Keywords: belief function; conflict between belief functions; conflicting part of belief function; Dempster's semigroup; Dempster-Shafer theory; internal conflict; non-conflicting part of belief function; uncertainty
