k_clique_communities¶

k_clique_communities(G, k, cliques=None)[source]¶

Find k-clique communities in graph using the percolation method.

A k-clique community is the union of all cliques of size k that can be reached through adjacent (sharing k-1 nodes) k-cliques.

Parameters:	G : NetworkX graph k : int Size of smallest clique cliques: list or generator Precomputed cliques (use networkx.find_cliques(G))
Returns:	Yields sets of nodes, one for each k-clique community.

>>> list(c[0])
