A clash in Dempster-Shafer theory

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/sub /spl infin// is not consistent with his interpretation for the belief function. Moreover, two ways to resolve this problem are proposed.
