Abstract :
Principal ideas of the minC combination are recalled. A mathematical structure of generalized frames of discernment is formalized. A generalized schema for a computation of the minC combination is presented. Conflicting belief masses redistribution among non-conflicting focal elements is overviewed. Final general formulas for computation of the minC combination are presented. Some examples of computation of the minC combination follow. Related works and approaches are referred in the end.
