Abstract: Hidden conflicts of belief functions in some cases where the sum of all multiples of conflicting belief masses being equal to zero were observed. Relationships of hidden conflicts and auto-conflicts of belief functions are pointed out. We are focused on hidden auto-conflicts here - on hidden conflicts appearing when three or more numerically same belief functions are combined. Hidden auto-conflict is a kind of internal conflict. Degrees of hidden auto-conflicts and full non-conflictness are defined and analysed. Finally, computational issues of hidden auto-conflicts and non-conflictness are presented.
