Not here, but it other functions it would be very useful to be able to map 
back to the owning particle.
In fact, I have to treat local and ghost particles differently. In terms of 
updating properties, I only need to update the properties of local 
particles. When the maximum displacement of a particles reaches half of the 
cell length in the triangulation, I call 
sort_particles_into_subdomains_and_cells() to update the list of local and 
ghost particles. I can explain the algorithm in more details if you want.
Thanks again.
