The clustering coefficient of graphs

The clustering coefficient of a node or a vertex in a graph depends on how close the neighbors are so that they form a clique (or a small complete graph), as shown in the following diagram:

There is a well known formula to cluster coefficients, which looks pretty heavy with mathematical symbols. However, to put it in simple words, take a look at the following equation:

This involves keeping track of the links at every vertex and calculating the clustering index at every vertex, where the neighbor of a node in the ...
