一、概念
（1）完全子图/全耦合网络/k-派系：所有节点全部两两相连
图1
这些全耦合网络也成为派系，k-派系表示该全耦合网络的节点数目为k
1）k-派系相邻：两个不同的k-派系共享k-1个节点，认为他们相邻
2）k-派系连通：一个k-派系可以通过若干个相邻的k-派系到达另一个k-派系，则称这两个k-派系彼此联通
二、思路
图2
1- first find all cliques of size k in the graph
第一步首先找到网络中大小为K的完全子图，例如图2中k=3的完全子图有{1, 2, 3} {1, 3, 4} {4, 5, 6} {5, 6, 7} {5, 6, 8} {5, 7, 8} {6, 7, 8}
2- then create graph where nodes are cliques of size k
第二步将每个完全子图定义为一个节点，建立一个重叠矩阵
a=[3 2 0 0 0 0 0；
2 3 1 0 0 0 0；
0 1 3 2 2 1 1;
0 0 2 3 2 2 2;
0 0 2 2 3 2 2;
0 0 1 2 2 3 2;
0 0 1 2 2 2 3 ]
3- add edges if two nodes (cliques) share k-1 common nodes
第三步将重叠矩阵变成社团邻接矩阵，其中重叠矩阵中对角线小于k，非对角线小于k-1的元素全置为0
a=[1 1 0 0 0 0 0；
1 1 0 0 0 0 0；
0 0 1 1 1 0 0;
0 0 1 1 1 1 1;
0 0 1 1 1 1 1;
0 0 0 1 1 1 1;
0 0 0 1 1 1 1 ]
4- each connected component is a community
画出派系图，如上所示
从图中可以看出包含了两个社区{1，2，3，4}和{4，5，6，7，8}，节点4属于两个社区的重叠节点

注意事项：
CPM算法不适用于稀疏矩阵，K的取值对结果影响不大，一般实验证明4-6为最佳
2017年4.16更新
用matlab算法实现，其中做了一点小变动，k是最小派系范围，寻找的是大于等于k的完全子图数，得到结果与上述描述结果一致，节点4是重叠节点
