Abstract

This contribution deals with a belief processing which enables managing of multiple and overlapping elements of a frame of discernment. An outline of the Dempster-Shafer theory for such cases is presented, including several types of constraints for simplification of its large computational complexity. DSmT --- a new theory rapidly developing the last five years --- is briefly introduced. Finally, it is shown that the DSmT is a special case of the general Dempster-Shafer approach.
