Triadic concept analysis is a theoretical approach to knowledge discovery of a triadic context by constructing triadic concepts. A triadic concept reduct is a minimal triadic concept set that preserves triadic relation of a triadic context unchanged.The problems of triadic concept reduction based on the representative triadic concept matrix are studied. Firstly, the representative triadic concept matrix is defined. On the basis of the matrix, judging theorems of a triadic concept consistent set and a triadic concept reduct are given. Secondly, the minimum representative triadic concept matrix is defined and the algorithm to obtain triadic concept reducts through the matrix is given. Finally, the characteristics of core, relatively necessary and absolutely unnecessary triadic concepts are given respectively from the perspective of the minimum representative triadic concept matrix.
