Make Underbrace ignore Brackets
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
h_n\biggl[f_X(0)\underbrace{\int_0^{+\infty}K(z)^2dz}_{\equiv\beta} +o_p(1)\biggr]
\end{equation}
\end{document}
I am not advocating this solution, but onw way to solve this issue and still allow for "automatic" resizing is to use \smash
and an appopriate \vphantom
:
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
h_n\left[f_X(0)\vphantom{\int}\smash{\underbrace{\int_0^{+\infty}K(z)^2dz}}_{\equiv\beta} +o_p(1)\right]
\end{equation}
\end{document}
