A general conflict analysis model based on three-way decision

In a three-valued situation table, researchers have investigated the relationship between two agents by using auxiliary and distance functions, and proposed several models of conflict analysis for trisecting the set of all pairs of agents. But we have not observed a unification of these conflict analysis models. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of conditional alliance and conflict evaluations of two agents towards a subset of issues. In the framework of three-way decision, we propose a general model of three-way conflict analysis, and study three levels of conflict between two agents. We illustrate that five models of conflict analysis for trisecting the set of all pairs of agents are special cases of the general model, and provide a deep insight into the models of conflict analysis based on three-way decision.
