Put the following lines in the head of your document, i.e. between `\documentclass{xxx}` and `\begin{document}`
{{{
\newcommand*{\optMinMax}[2]{\underset{\vphantom{A}\displaystyle\mathclap{#1}}%
	                   {\text{#2}}\quad}
\newcommand{\optmin}[1]{\optMinMax{#1}{minimize}}
\newcommand{\optmax}[1]{\optMinMax{#1}{maximize}}
\newcommand*{\subject}{\text{subject to}\quad}
\newcommand*{\tagthis}{\stepcounter{equation}\tag{\theequation}}
}}}
