Hello,

I have a row vector defined as,

[tex]X=\{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_L\}[/tex]
I wish to "stack" this vector vertically, a total of N times, such that the result is a matrix of the form,

[tex]\begin{align}Y = \left[ \begin{array}{cccc}<br /> x_1 & x_2 & \ldots & x_L \\<br /> x_1 & x_2 & \ldots & x_L \\<br /> . & . & . & .\\<br /> . & . & . & .\\<br /> . & . & . & .\\<br /> x_1 & x_2 & \ldots & x_L \end{array} \right]<br /> \end{align}[/tex]
I want to write this in matrix notation, that is, using only vectors and matrices, and not any summations or other operators. I am not sure how to do this cleanly, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you.

In hindsight, this is stupidly simple. Thanks!
