Math & Science ⇒ Superscript Position in Math Mode

[dejan85]

I try to put superscript in math mode after \max command, but I want to be in standard upper right position or upper left position, not above max. For example, like this

Code: Select all

$$\max{}^k$$

When I use this, with long superscript

Code: Select all

$$\max_{j = 1, \ldots , k}{}^k$$

it doesn't look nice, because k is to far from max.
I try also fouridx package for left superscript

Code: Select all

$$\fourIdx{k}{}{}{}{\max_{j = 1, \ldots , k}}$$

but then subscript is not below max.
Is there a way to write left and right superscript next to max with long subscript below the max?

Hi,

try \mathclap from the mathtools package:

Code: Select all

\[\max_{\mathclap{j = 1, \ldots , k}}{}^k\]

And use \[ \] instead of $$ $$!

Thank you. I can use this to solve problem.
