// The (default) merge strategy based on the *reduced* clique graph ``\\mathcal{G}(\\mathcal{B}, \\xi)``,
// for a set of cliques ``\\mathcal{B} = \\{ \\mathcal{C}_1, \\dots, \\mathcal{C}_p\\}``, where the edge
// set ``\\xi`` is obtained by taking the edges of the union of clique trees.

// Moreover, given an edge weighting function ``e(\\mathcal{C}_i,\\mathcal{C}_j) = w_{ij}``, we compute a
// weight for each edge that quantifies the computational savings of merging the two cliques.
//
// After the initial weights are computed, we merge cliques in a loop:
//
// **while** clique graph contains positive weights:
// - select two permissible cliques with the highest weight ``w_{ij}``
// - merge cliques ``\\rightarrow`` update clique graph
// - recompute weights for updated clique graph
//
// See also: *Garstka, Cannon, Goulart - A clique graph based merging strategy for decomposable SDPs (2019)*
//
// NB: edges is currently an integer valued matrix since the weights are taken as
// powers of the cardinality of the intersection of the cliques. This needs to change
// to floats if empirical edge weight functions are to be supported.
