  • Abstract
    In this paper, we justify Dempster´s rule of combination under Shafer´s interpretation of belief functions. Then, we argue that there is a clash in Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory. That is, the definition which Shafer gives for belief function Bel∞ is not consistent with his interpretation for the belief function. Moreover, two ways to resolve this problem are proposed.
