USE OF COMPLEX FUZZY MATRICES IN THE STUDY OF SMOKING PROBLEM

Abstract

Smoking is one of the dangerous issues in our society. Smoking often enslaves our youth. It then becomes a habit that is easy to start but hard to break. We know that there are various reasons for the cigarette smoking habits of different age groups. Therefore, through this paper we present a new fuzzy mathematical method to identify the main reason for the starting of cigarette smoking in each age, using the concept of complex fuzzy matrices and data. This method will help the country to identify the major cause factor of smoking habit of various age groups and to adopt suitable ways to solve the issue. We apply the concept of relation matrices and modify the algorithm to increase accuracy in the analysis process. An example is also illustrated to verify the developed procedure.
