This is an incremental critique that challenges the validity of prior research in formal concept analysis, potentially affecting researchers in that domain.
The paper critiques Mao H.'s 2017 work on using graph theory for attribute reduction in concept lattices, arguing that the results are trivial or previously known and that all three proposed algorithms are incorrect.
Mao H. (2017, Representing attribute reduction and concepts in concept lattice using graphs. Soft Computing 21(24):7293--7311) claims to make contributions to the study of reduction of attributes in concept lattices by using graph theory. We show that her results are either trivial or already well-known and all three algorithms proposed in the paper are incorrect.
