Cliques

Find and manipulate cliques of graphs.
Note that finding the largest clique of a graph has been
shown to be an NP-complete problem; the algorithms here
could take a long time to run.

"""Search for all maximal cliques in a graph.
Maximal cliques are the largest complete subgraph containing

the maximum clique.
Returns
-------
generator of lists: genetor of member list for each maximal clique
See Also
--------
find_cliques_recursive :
A recursive version of the same algorithm
Notes
-----
To obtain a list of cliques, use list(find_cliques(G)).
Based on the algorithm published by Bron & Kerbosch (1973) [1]_
as adapated by Tomita, Tanaka and Takahashi (2006) [2]_
and discussed in Cazals and Karande (2008) [3]_.
The method essentially unrolls the recursion used in
the references to avoid issues of recursion stack depth.
This algorithm is not suitable for directed graphs.
This algorithm ignores self-loops and parallel edges as
clique is not conventionally defined with such edges.
There are often many cliques in graphs. This algorithm can
run out of memory for large graphs.
