Abstract: The nature of a contradiction (conflict) between two belief functions is investigated. Alternative ways of distribution of the contradiction among nonempty subsets of frame of discernment are studied. A new approach to understanding of the contradiction is used and an original notion of a potential contradiction is introduced. A new way of an associative combination of generalized belief functions is presented. A way of its proportionalization is suggested as well.
