Constraining a variable value

I am constraining constants for the dynamics of an autonomous system that I am simulating. Within a for loop of 100 iterations, I would like to give "a" a random value greater than zero, "b" a random value greater than 1/a, and "c" a random value greater than 0.5. I have an idea for the code of "a" but I am confused on how to constrain "b" and "c" so that they are random values specifically greater than 1/a and 0.5. Here is what I have for my code right now:
AS= rand(1, 200)*1000;
for ii = 1:100
a = AS(ii);
b=1/a;
c=???
end
Any suggestions on this issue are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

b = 1/a;
b = max([b, 0.5]); % Make sure b is > 0.5
c = a + (b-a) * rand;
c = max([c, 0.5]); % Make sure c is > 0.5
