where Yj ∈ GΘ is the response of the expert j, mj (Yj ) the associated belief function and σiis given by (24). This formula could seem difficult to understand, but it can be implemented easily as shown in [15].

If we take again the previous example, with δ1(**., .**) given by equation (32), there is no difference with the **DPCR**. If δ1(**., .**)
is calculated by equation (34), the only difference pertains to the mass 0.09 coming from the responses of the three experts:
A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D, A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D and A ∪ C. This mass is transferred on A ∪ C (0.06) and on A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D (0.03).

The rules presented in the previous section, propose a repartition of the masses giving a partial conflict only (when at most two experts are in discord) and do not take heed of the level of imprecision of the responses of the experts (the non-specificity of the responses). The imprecision of the responses of each expert is only considered by the mixed and **MDPCR** rules when there is no conflict between the experts. To try to overcome these problems Martin and Osswald have proposed a begin of solutions toward a more general rule [15].

VI. GENERALIZATION OF QUALITATIVE FUSION RULES
This section provides two simple examples to show in detail how to extend the generalized quantitative fusion rules proposed in the previous section (*i.e.* the Mixed, the Discounted, and the Mixed Discounted fusion rules) to their qualitative counterparts using our operators on linguistic labels defined in section II-C.1. Example 12: Fusion of two sources Consider a set of labels L = {Lmin = L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, Lmax = L6}, and a frame of discernment Θ = {**A, B, C**} in Shafer's model (*i.e.* all intersections empty). Consider the two following qualitative sources of evidence:
