Interacting holographic dark energy in Brans-Dicke theory

We study cosmological application of interacting holographic energy density in the framework of Brans-Dicke cosmology. We obtain the equation of state and the deceleration parameter of the holographic dark energy in a non-flat universe. As system’s IR cutoff we choose the radius of the event horizon measured on the sphere of the horizon, defined as $L=ar(t)$. We find that the combination of Brans-Dicke field and holographic dark energy can accommodate $w_D=-1$ crossing for the equation of state of $\mathit{\text{noninteracting}}$ holographic dark energy. When an interaction between dark energy and dark matter is taken into account, the transition of $w_D$ to phantom regime can be more easily accounted for than when resort to the Einstein field equations is made.
