In this paper we determine how the beta funtions of Higgs self-coupling λ and top Yukawa coupling gt to one-loop order are modified by a light stabilized radion in the Randall–Sundrum model. We then use these beta functions to evolve λ from the cutoff <ϕ> down to μ0=115 GeV starting from different boundary values λ(<ϕ>). We find that although for large <ϕ> the value of λ(μ0) does depend on λ(<ϕ>), for small enough <ϕ> the curves merge together. We then determine a lower bound on <ϕ> by demanding that [Formula: see text] in order to be consistent with the LEPII lower bound on the Higgs mass. The lower bound on <ϕ> obtained by us is insensitive to the value of λ(<ϕ>).
