the last one didn’t work for me using WinEdt 6.0, this worked instead:

\newcommand{\argmax}[1]{\operatorname*{argmax}_{#1}}

\newcommand{\argmax}[1]{\underset{#1}{\operatorname{argmax}}}

great!

\newcommand{\argmax}{\operatornamewithlimits{argmax}} combined with the use of package amsmath is fine for the environment “displaymath” and similar, but whenever used with $$ (for using it “inside” the text) is not working properly. \underset{x}{\operatorname{argmax}} solves this problem

thanks a lot!! (never thought that would get so complicated!)

Yeah,\newcommand{\argmax}{\operatornamewithlimits{argmax}} didn’t quite do the job for me, but when combined with the underset it works great ^_^

Thanks to all!
