r"""Find the Maximum Clique
Finds the `O(|V|/(log|V|)^2)` apx of maximum clique/independent set
in the worst case.
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.
