Unfortunately out of the box LaTeX can't do this, but there's a handy little trick. Right before the \begin{document} put:\usepackage{amsmath}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\Max}{Max}
\begin{document}Then to write the max problem above you can put:V(p, y) = \Max_x U(x) : p \cdot x \le y

\max (lower case) works out of the box.
The issue with \max is that it doesn't put subscripts underneath it. Suppose I put:
\max_{x,y}
This puts max with the x,y as a subscript to the right. That's not the behaviour I was looking for.
you could try adding
\displaystyle
to the math environment
$\max_x$ will put x to the right.
$$\max_x$$ will put x below.
Just use \displaystyle inside $ $ and before min_ or max_.
For example:
$\displaystyle \min_x$ will produce the wanted result.
