Thanks you, this works right. I just would like to note one thing: although I've found italic() in the help for plotmath and I can see that the italic function:
mtext(expression(italic(beta)[max]),side=1,line=2) does not work on the greek beta character. Though not strictly necessary, this would be perfect for my plots, as I use them for papers to be published.
