I assume you need this in the math editor.

I've used the following command to declare the math operator, it requires
the use of the amsmath package (or one of its associates)
\DeclareMathOperator*{\esssup}{ess\ sup}

This declares the ess sup operator, you can use:
\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{argmax}

In order to declare the argmax operator, I don't remember if you need the
star or not, try both. Anyhow, it won't look too good in LyX, but on the
LaTeX output it should look fine when the formula is not inline.

Hi!

How can you have a letter in the bottom middle of a word.  I don't
know exactly how to articulate it.  For example, "argmax" loops over a
variable and that variable is written underneath.  How do you
accomplish that? 

Thanks and sorry for the bad explanation (but I hope somebody

Is it something like the index of a summation? a little variable below
the big sigma? Well, with \sum you just press underscore afterwards
and it will automatically go down (^ to go up), and space to get out.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that over a string like
"argmax", sorry.

$\stackrel{\textrm{argmax}}{\alpha}$

in mathmode puts alpha under argmax, but alpha is on the bottom
of the line. the following with a minipage gives better result:

\begin{minipage}[t]{1.25cm}\parskip-1ex\begin{center}
argmax
$\alpha$
\end{center}\end{minipage}

option [t]: alpha is under argmax
option [b]: argmax is over alpha
option [m]: both are vertically centered in the line.

Hi,

   arg,  argmax, argmin

should work just like

 max and min,

like Myriam wishes. This is a very  important LaTeX issue,
which I have been suprised that it isn't implemented
in the "amsmath" (at least noit in  the version I use with LyX).

Ex. How do you produce something decent about this
   \arg  _{x} \max _{x,y} f(x,y)
in a dislplayed equation? I do not know.


As I see it, we have
 a) to wait for  LaTeX commands which do the proper tricks
 for \arg \argmax and \argmin in  equations.
 b) program it by our selves.

OR

Is anybody aware of a new AMS package which has the
desired features? If yes please respond
