Abstract

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)L=ar(t). We find that the combination of Brans-Dicke field and holographic dark energy can accommodate wD=1w_D = -1 crossing for the equation of state of \textit{noninteracting} holographic dark energy. When an interaction between dark energy and dark matter is taken into account, the transition of wDw_D to phantom regime can be more easily accounted for than when resort to the Einstein field equations is made.
