Clique :
A maximal totally connected subgraph.
Given a graph with nodes N, a clique C is a subset of N
where every node in C is directly connected to every other
node in C (i.e. C is totally connected), and C contains all
such nodes (C is maximal). In other words, a clique contains
all, and only, those nodes which are directly connected to all
other nodes in the clique.
