How to pick $ \lambda $ inside $ [\lambda _L \lambda _U]$ ?

The simplest choice is to pick the midpoint:

$\displaystyle \lambda=\frac{1}{2}(\lambda_L+\lambda_U) $

A better solution (from experimental research)is to use ( $ \theta=0.01$):

$\displaystyle \lambda = max (\sqrt{\lambda_L \lambda_U},
 \lambda_L + \theta ( \lambda_U- \lambda_L))$ (4.20)
