eng Abstract:
This paper examines mutual conflict behavior between belief function structures across different discernment frame sizes (\(\Omega\)). Through experiments on \(\Omega_2\) to \(\Omega_6\), we observe that as frame size increases, non-conflicting pairs and higher-order hidden conflicts become exceedingly relatively rare despite the exponential growth of cardinalities of their classes. The super-exponential growth of possible belief structures complicates exhaustive analysis, leading us to employ random sampling. Our findings reveal that the cardinality of a class of first-degree hidden conflicts (HC\(_1\)) grows faster than non-conflicts as frame size increases, highlighting the challenges and implications of applying belief function theory in complex decision-making scenarios.
