Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph Undirected graph Returns ------- clique : set The apx-maximum clique of the graph Notes ------ A clique in an undirected graph G = (V, E) is a subset of the vertex set `C \subseteq V` such that for every two vertices in C there exists an edge connecting the two. This is equivalent to saying that the subgraph induced by C is complete (in some cases, the term clique may also refer to the subgraph). A maximum clique is a clique of the largest possible size in a given graph. The clique number `\omega(G)` of a graph G is the number of vertices in a maximum clique in G. The intersection number of G is the smallest number of cliques that together cover all edges of G. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_clique References ---------- ..

Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph Returns ------- int The size of a large clique in the graph. Notes ----- This implementation is from [1]_. Its worst case time complexity is :math:`O(n d^2)`, where *n* is the number of nodes in the graph and *d* is the maximum degree. This function is a heuristic, which means it may work well in practice, but there is no rigorous mathematical guarantee on the ratio between the returned number and the actual largest clique size in the graph.
