    Observations indicate that most of the universal matter are invisible and the gravitational constant G(t)G(t) maybe depends on the time. A theory of the variational GG (VG) is explored in this paper, with naturally producing the useful dark components in universe. We utilize the observational data: lookback time data, model-independent gamma ray bursts, growth function of matter linear perturbations, type Ia supernovae data with systematic errors, CMB and BAO to restrict the unified model (UM) of dark components in VG theory. Using the best-fit values of parameters with the covariance matrix, constraints on the variation of GG are (GG0)z=3.5≃1.0015βˆ’0.0075+0.0071(\frac{G}{G_{0}})_{z=3.5}\simeq 1.0015^{+0.0071}_{-0.0075} and (GΛ™G)todayβ‰ƒβˆ’0.7252βˆ’2.3645+2.3645Γ—10βˆ’13yrβˆ’1(\frac{\dot{G}}{G})_{today}\simeq -0.7252^{+2.3645}_{-2.3645}\times 10^{-13} yr^{-1}, the small uncertainties around constants. Limit on the equation of state of dark matter is w0dm=0.0072βˆ’0.0170+0.0170w_{0dm}=0.0072^{+0.0170}_{-0.0170} with assuming w0de=βˆ’1w_{0de}=-1 in unified model, and dark energy is w0de=βˆ’0.9986βˆ’0.0011+0.0011w_{0de}=-0.9986^{+0.0011}_{-0.0011} with assuming w0dm=0w_{0dm}=0 at prior. Restriction on UM parameters are Bs=0.7442βˆ’0.0132βˆ’0.0292+0.0137+0.0262B_{s}=0.7442^{+0.0137+0.0262}_{-0.0132-0.0292} and Ξ±=0.0002βˆ’0.0209βˆ’0.0422+0.0206+0.0441\alpha=0.0002^{+0.0206+0.0441}_{-0.0209-0.0422} with 1Οƒ1\sigma and 2Οƒ2\sigma confidence level. In addition, the effect of a cosmic string fluid on unified model in VG theory are investigated. In this case it is found that the Ξ›\LambdaCDM (Ξ©s=0\Omega_{s}=0, Ξ²=0\beta=0 and Ξ±=0\alpha=0) is included in this VG-UM model at 1Οƒ1\sigma confidence level, and the larger errors are given: Ξ©s=βˆ’0.0106βˆ’0.0305βˆ’0.0509+0.0312+0.0582\Omega_{s}=-0.0106^{+0.0312+0.0582}_{-0.0305-0.0509} (dimensionless energy density of cosmic string), (GG0)z=3.5≃1.0008βˆ’0.0584+0.0620(\frac{G}{G_{0}})_{z=3.5}\simeq 1.0008^{+0.0620}_{-0.0584} and (GΛ™G)todayβ‰ƒβˆ’0.3496βˆ’26.3135+26.3135Γ—10βˆ’13yrβˆ’1(\frac{\dot{G}}{G})_{today}\simeq -0.3496^{+26.3135}_{-26.3135}\times 10^{-13}yr^{-1}.Comment: 17 pages,4 figure

    Investigate the interaction between dark matter and dark energy

    In this paper we investigate the interaction between dark matter and dark energy by considering two different interacting scenarios, i.e. the cases of constant interaction function and variable interaction function. By fitting the current observational data to constrain the interacting models, it is found that the interacting strength is non-vanishing, but weak for the case of constant interaction function, and the interaction is not obvious for the case of variable interaction function. In addition, for seeing the influence from interaction we also investigate the evolutions of interaction function, effective state parameter for dark energy and energy density of dark matter. At last some geometrical quantities in the interacting scenarios are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
