Abstract
A conflict is a situation where multiple stakeholders have different evaluations over possible scenarios or states. Conflict analysis is an essential tool for understanding and resolving complex conflicts, especially in scenarios involving multiple stakeholders and uncertainties. Confrontation analysis (ConAna) and graph model for conflict resolution (GMCR) have been integrated for dilemma reasoning and conflict resolution in region crisis analysis. This paper discusses the application of decision-theoretic rough sets (DTRS) to three-way decisions (3WD) in dilemma reasoning and conflict resolution. Three-way decisions are a strategy for making decisions under uncertain conditions, which compensates for the shortcomings of traditional two-way decisions (such as accept or reject) by introducing a “delayed decision” option. In terms of dilemma reasoning, we try to address incomplete or conflicting information and provide a more reasonable decision path for decision-makers through comprehensive evaluation of multi-criteria. In terms of conflict resolution, the DTRS model seeks a compromising solution that is acceptable to all parties by analyzing the game relationship between different stakeholders. The DTRS model combines decision-making theory and rough set theory to determine the balanced decision region by constructing a game between multiple criteria. This dynamic integration is of great significance for the study of complex international conflicts, providing a cross-disciplinary perspective for related research. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of DTRS in 3WD and discuss the relationship between DTRS and probabilistic rough sets. The research shows that the DTRS model has significant advantages in dealing with complex decision problems and can effectively deal with the conflicts and uncertainties in multi-criteria decision-making.Keywords
