title intended
for a n vertices and m edges undirected weighted graph, find a path from 1 to n and the maximum exclusive or.
Ideas
from the path 1 to n, there is no requirement of different points, different side, so that the idea according to the greedy, if it rings, on the path from a vertex on the 1 to n, and back through the loop the vertices may make XOR value becomes large, so that these rings traversal, if the exclusive-oR value can increase the left, and finally can obtain the maximum value of the exclusive oR. Here is formed a set minimum value or the maximum linear exclusive group requirements.
