Hi Fatima,
Trying different numbers of points around H means that you will be changing the delta_K you take to fit the parabola. Besides this, you must also try a band structure with more K_points. Fix the delta_K and see how the effective mass changes with the number of points inside the range. As I said, choosing the suitable delta_K and its number of points may be a hard task. Keep in mind that fitting three points will give you a perfect but probably meaningless parabola. Good luck, Luis
