Research direction

Start by reading the algorithm described in the linked arXiv paper and inspect the dwave-graphs package to find the appropriate graph-algorithm entry point. Determine the expected API and verification approach before implementing it; done means the Ramsey numbers algorithm is available in the Python package and its behavior is checked against the paper.
