Abstract: This paper proposes the attribute reduction in the attribute three-way consistent formal decision context, which preserves irredundant rules information without loss for AE-concept lattices. For this purpose, the related properties in subcontext of a formal context are discussed. Then based on them, the set of irredundant rules consistent in the attribute three-way consistent formal decision context is defined, and the corresponding judgment theorems of the set of irredundant rules consistent is obtained. Finally, the methods to find these reductions by discernibility matrix and discernibility function are presented.

Key words: formal decision context, rules, three-way concept lattices, attribute reduction, attribute three-way consistence
