num_cliques (int) – Number of cliques
clique_size (int) – Size of cliques
- Returns
G – ring of cliques graph
- Return type
NetworkX Graph

Notes
The
connected_caveman_graph
graph removes a link from each clique to connect it with the next clique. Instead, thering_of_cliques
graph simply adds the link without removing any link from the cliques.
