</span>You should use the interface for the transitive closure.<br>
<br>
Find bounds of points that are vertices:<br>
<br>
DMPlexGetDepthStratum(dm, &vStart, &vEnd);<br>
<br>
...<br>
DMPlexGetTransitiveClosure(dm, c, PETSC_TRUE, &nclosure, &closure);<br>
for (PetscInt i = 0; i < nclosure; i++) {<br>
const PetscInt p = closure[2*i];<br>
if (p >= vStart && p < vEnd) {<br>
p is a vertex<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
This works regardless of the topological dimension of the "cell" point you are using (the same code is good to find the vertices in the closure of a facet, say).<br>
