LaTeX Optimizing "arg" in I for m values between 1 and M - Latex Help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around formatting a mathematical expression in LaTeX, specifically how to position the condition "1 ≤ m ≤ M" directly under "arg" in an inline expression. One user initially suggests using the command I=\mathop{\mbox{arg}}_{1\le m \le M}, but it does not meet the user's needs for inline formatting. Another participant advises using \displaystyle to achieve the desired positioning, resulting in I=\displaystyle{\mathop{\mbox{arg}}_{1\le m \le M}. However, this approach introduces additional spacing that may not be ideal for inline text. The conversation also touches on the appropriateness of using "arg" versus "argmin" or "argmax," but the original poster clarifies that they require "arg" for an arbitrary value m, not for minimum or maximum calculations.

Hello

In the following, I need 1\leq m\leq M to be exactly under "arg", How can I do that?

I=\text{arg}_{\substack{1\leq m\leq M}

Thanks in advance

How about this:

Code:
I=\mathop{\mbox{arg}}_{1\le m \le M}

which gives:

I=\mathop{\mbox{arg}}_{1\le m \le M}

Thanks alphysicist for replying, but the code you gave did not work in my case. I forgot to mention this expression is an in-line expression, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem.

Best regards

You can force it by using displaystyle:


Code:
I=\displaystyle{\mathop{\mbox{arg}}_{1\le m \le M}}

but of course that will put extra spacing between the lines of your text.
 


Why do you want this to appear under "arg" anyway? If you want the minimum or maximum value over a range of arguments, then it would be underneath "min" or "max," and if you want the argument that results in the minimum or maximum of the expression, then it should be "argmin" or "argmax", but what the heck is just "arg" ?

Yes, now it works. Thanks alot.

I neither want the argument of max nor min values, I need the argument of an arbitrary value m. Of cource, I didn't write the whole expression because it doesn't affect what I want.
