| contents | In a graph $Γ=(V,E)$, we consider the common closed neighbourhood of a subset of vertices and use this notion to introduce a Moore closure operator in $V.$ We also consider the closed twin equivalence relation in which two vertices are equivalent if they have the same closed neighbourhood. Those notions are deeply explored when $Γ$ is the power graph associated with a finite group $G$. In that case, among the corresponding closed twin equivalence classes, we introduce the concepts of plain, compound and critical classes. The study of critical classes, together with properties of the Moore closure operator, allow us to correct a mistake in the proof of {\rm \cite[Theorem 2 ]{Cameron_2}} and to deduce a simple algorithm to reconstruct the directed power graph of a finite group from its undirected counterpart, as asked in \cite[Question 2]{GraphsOnGroups}. |
