Actually mapply does not require backticks since it is expecting its
functions to be quoted anyway, but it didn't seem to work as you (and
I) expected.
> mapply('*', LL, vec)
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 2 3
[2,] 0 0 0
[3,] 0 0 0
[4,] 0 0 0
[5,] 1 2 3
[6,] 0 0 0
[7,] 0 0 0
[8,] 0 0 0
[9,] 1 2 3
What is needed is to add SIMPLIFY=FALSE
> mapply('*', LL, vec, SIMPLIFY=FALSE)
$A
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 0 0
[2,] 0 1 0
[3,] 0 0 1
$B
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 2 0 0
[2,] 0 2 0
[3,] 0 0 2
$C
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 3 0 0
[2,] 0 3 0
[3,] 0 0 3
