MATLAB repelem Function: Repeating Distance Vectors for Optimization

This line of code utilizes the MATLAB function 'repelem' to replicate the 'dist' vector 'popSize' times, generating a new vector 'f'. The 'dist' vector likely holds distances between pairs of points. Repeating it 'popSize' times might be intended to assess the objective function for each individual in a population of size 'popSize'. The resultant vector 'f' will likely be employed to evaluate fitness or select individuals for further optimization within an evolutionary algorithm.
