How do you put text below other text?

I need to write the expression meaning optimize over the parameter set. I think I should write something like

$\arg \max_{\substack{w \\ \phi}} f(w,\phi)$

but this puts the subscript below at the right of \max and I'd like to put those subindexes below and centered on the max word.

Which command should I use?

Thanks in advance.

Use this statement. It will surely work. Update the parameters as per your requirement :

max┬(0≤x≤1)⁡〖xe^(-x^2 ) 〗

Have you tried display mode math instead of text mode math. That is, try either:

$\displaystyle\arg \max_{\substack{w \\ \phi}} f(w,\phi)$

Or try:

\[ \arg \max_{\substack{w \\ \phi}} f(w,\phi) \]
