The nature of a contradiction (conflict) between two belief functions is investigated. Alternative ways of distributing the contradiction among nonempty subsets of frame of discernment are studied. The paper employes a new approach to understanding contradictions and introduces an original notion of potential contradiction. A method of an associative combination of generalized belief functions - minC combination and its derivation - is presented as part of the new approach. A proportionalization of ...
