G-frames are natural generalizations of frames which provide more choices on analyzing functions from frame expansion coefficients. First, they were defined in Hilbert spaces and then generalized on C*-Hilbert modules. In this paper, we first generalize the concept of g-frames to Hilbert modules over pro-C*-algebras. Then, we introduce the g-frame operators in such spaces and show that they sha...

In rigid plastic analysis one of the most widely applicable methods that is based on the minimum principle, is the combination of elementary mechanisms which uses the upper bound theorem. In this method a mechanism is searched which corresponds to the smallest load factor. Mathematical programming can be used to optimize this search process for simple fra...
