But our model includes both potential and coupling, so we put the redshift dependence of the scalar in other form. Making use of CMB, BAO and SNIa observational data, we probe the model and determine model parameters, but our main concern is the dependence of model parameters on the temporal and spatial scales. Therefore we separate the probes for high(CMB) and low (BAO + SN) redshift observational data. gravity scalar 1. Introduction One of the biggest problems in modern cosmology in our opinion, is whetherthe expansion dynamics of the universe is governing by the Einstein tensor gravity or the scalar-tensor one. After the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory was formulated a plethora of works has been dedicated to the test of theory in scalar system and in cosmological scale and to the elucidation of the true implication of the scalar field. Nevertheless for example the Brans-Dicke coupling parameter \(\omega\) is being evaluated with tremendous tension hitherto. The measurement of the frequency shift of radiowaves to and from Cossini spacecraft asit passed near the sun yielded \(\gamma =1+(2.1 \pm 2.3) \times {10^{ - 5}}\) ,which was equivalent to Brans-Dicke parameter, \(\omega >40000\) [ 1 , 2 ]. Observations of Nordtvedt effect using the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment yielded a slightly smaller value \(\omega >1000\) [ 2 , 3 ]. Observations of orbital period derivative of the aircular white dwarf-neutron star binary system PSR J1012 + 5307 yielded \(\omega >1250\) [ 2 ]. On the other hand, the recent estimations of the parameter yield ever negative values. Ref[ 4 ] obtained \(- 407.0<\omega <175.89\) at 95% confidence level. Ref[ 5 ] using SNIa data obtained a best fit value \(\omega = - 1.477\) . Ref[ 6 ] for three different models found \(\omega = - 0.9782\) , \(\omega = - 1.0646\) and \(\omega = - 1.7817\) respectively. Where their explanation of such a wide range of estimation of the parameter \(\omega\) from minus a few hundreds to a few tens of thousand should be found? First, it might be associated with whether the model one used was appropriate for description of the real Universe. Such a requirement makes it necessity construct a model as more inclusive as possible so as to be close to the observed Universe. Second, it may be associated with temporal evolution of the Universe and the difference of the spatial scales for the observational data. As Ref. [ 7 ] has pointed out the cosmological constraint on Brans-Dicke theory is different from the solar systems constraint since they concern very different spatial and temporal scales. For example the solar system experiment concerns smaller scale but curvature there is higher than in cosmological scale and this could lead to screen scalar and as a result the metric gravity (GR) plays the leading role. Perivolaropoulos [ 8 ] considered Brans-Dicke gravity with massive scalar field and obtained a modified expression on PPN parameter \(\gamma\) for that theory. It reads \(\gamma (\omega ,{m_s},r)=\frac{{1 - \frac{{{e^{ - \frac{{\sqrt {2{\phi _0}} }}{{\sqrt {2\omega +3} }}{m_s}r}}}}{{2\omega +3}}}}{{1+\frac{{{e^{ - \frac{{\sqrt {2{\phi _0}} }}{{\sqrt {2\omega +3} }}{m_s}r}}}}{{2\omega +3}}}}.\) Where \({m_s}\) is mass of the massive scalar field, \({\phi _0}\) homogeneous background field of scalar and r- the scale performing the experimental observation. The relation(1) is different from the relation of the conventional Brans-Dicke theory with massless scalar \(\gamma =\frac{{1+\omega }}{{2+\omega }}\) .PPN-parameter \(\gamma (\omega ,{m_s},r)\) expressed by relation (1) shows that parameter \(\gamma\) , in the case of massive scalar, depends not only on the mass of scalar itself, but also on what scale the experiment is performed on. Above-mentioned variety of the Brans-Dicke parameter \(\omega\) may be explained by the relation (1) partly. But the relation (1) was derived under the assumption that the temporal evolution was neglected. However our main concern is the cosmological temporal evolution of the model parameters for long period of the evolution of the Universe. Therefore making use of current observational data we first calculate the model parameters for the high (CMB) and low (BAO + SN) redshift. Sect 2 describes the basic equations of the cosmological model to be investigated. Sect 3 probes the model using observation data and Sect 4 summarizes the results. 2. Basic equation The action functional of our model takes the form $$S=\int {{d^4}x} \sqrt { - g} \left[ {\frac{1}{2}\left( {\Phi R - \frac{\omega }{\Phi }{\Phi _{,\mu }}{\Phi ^{,\mu }}} \right) - \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\phi _{,\mu }}{\phi ^{,\mu }}+2V(\phi )} \right)+{L_b}\left( {{\psi _b};{g_{\mu \nu }}} \right)+C(\phi )L_{c}^{{(0)}}\left( {{\psi _c};{g_{\mu \nu }}} \right)} \right]$$ 1 Where we set \(8\pi G=1\) and \({G_N}\) is the Newton constant, therefore scalar field \(\phi\) is dimensionless. The matter Laglangian consist of two components: one is for the baryon matter which is not coupled to scalar field and another component is dark matter which is coupled to scalar because the weak equivalence principle is valid for the usual baryon matter. Coupling function \(C(\phi )\) represents on explicit direct interaction of scalar with dark matter. \({\psi _b}\) and \({\psi _c}\) represent the collective fields of baryons and dark matters, respectively. The variations of action (1) with respect to \({g^{\mu \nu }}\) and \(\phi\) give following dynamical equations $$\left( {{R_{\mu \nu }} - \frac{1}{2}{g_{\mu \nu }}R} \right)\phi =C(\phi )T_{{\mu \nu (c)}}^{{(0)}}+{T_{\mu \nu (b)}}+{T_{\mu \nu (\phi )}}$$ 2 $$\left( {2\omega (\phi )+3} \right)\square \phi =\left( {C(\phi ) - 2\frac{{dC(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\phi } \right)T_{c}^{{(0)}}+{T_b} - \frac{{d\omega (\phi )}}{{d\phi }}{(\nabla \phi )^2} - 4V(\phi )+2\frac{{dV(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\phi$$ 3 Where energy-momentum tensor of scalar field is given by $${T_{\mu \nu (\phi )}}=\frac{{\omega (\phi )}}{\phi }\left( {{\phi _{,\mu }}{\phi _{,\nu }} - \frac{1}{2}{g_{\mu \nu }}{{(\nabla \phi )}^2}} \right)+\left( {{\phi _{,\mu ;\nu }} - {g_{\mu \nu }}\square \phi } \right) - {g_{\mu \nu }}V(\phi )$$ 4 Where \(\square \equiv \frac{1}{{\sqrt g }}{\partial _\mu }\left( { - \sqrt g } \right)\) , the matter energy-momentum tensor is determined by \(T_{{\mu \nu (c)}}^{{(0)}}=\frac{2}{{\sqrt g }}\frac{{\partial \sqrt g L_{c}^{{(0)}}}}{{\partial {g^{\mu \nu }}}}\) and \(T_{c}^{{(0)}}=T_{{\mu (c)}}^{{(0)}}.\) Taking covariant derivative of Eq. ( 2 ) one finds. The energy-momentum conservation equations for baryon and for cold dark matter + scalar field, respectively, as follows $$T_{{\mu (c);\nu }}^{\nu }=0$$ 4 $$T_{{\mu (c);\nu }}^{\nu }+T_{{\mu (\phi );\nu }}^{\nu }=0$$ 5 Where \(T_{{\mu \nu (c)}}^{\nu }=C(\phi )T_{{\mu \nu (c)}}^{{(0)}}\) . Because cold dark matter and scalar field exchange the energy, cold dark matter and scalar field do not conserve the energy separately and the conservation equation for dark matter reads [ 9 ]. $$T_{{\mu (c);\nu }}^{\nu }=\frac{{d\ln C(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}{T_c}{\phi _{,\mu }}=\frac{{dC(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}T_{c}^{{(0)}}{\phi _{,\mu }}$$ 6 Where \({T_c}=T_{{\mu (c)}}^{\mu }\) . We apply the Eqs. ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) to a flat FRW universe where metric is given by $$d{s^2}= - d{t^2}+{a^2}(t)d{x^2}.$$ 7 Matter will be described by perfect fluids for both baryon and cold dark matter. Then dynamical equations derived from Eqs. ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) read $$3\phi {H^2}=C(\phi )\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}+{\rho _b}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{{\omega (\phi )}}{\phi }{\dot {\phi }^2}+V(\phi ) - 3H\dot {\phi }$$ 8 $$- \phi \dot {H}=\frac{1}{2}\left[ {C(\phi )\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}+{\rho _b}+\frac{{\omega (\phi )}}{\phi }{{\dot {\phi }}^2}+\ddot {\phi } - H\dot {\phi }} \right]$$ 9 $$\left( {\ddot {\phi }+3H\dot {\phi }} \right)\frac{{\omega (\phi )}}{\phi }=3(\dot {H}+2{H^2}) - \frac{{d\omega (\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\frac{{{{\dot {\phi }}^2}}}{{2\phi }}+\frac{{\omega (\phi )}}{2}{\left( {\frac{{\dot {\phi }}}{\phi }} \right)^2} - \frac{{dV(\phi )}}{{d\phi }} - \frac{{dC(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}$$ 10 Where superscript (0) stands for the quantities corresponding to the couplingless Laglangian \(L_{c}^{{(0)}}\) for cold dark matter in action (1).In the original Brans-Dicke theory of gravity without potential \(V(\phi )\) , scalar field evolves according to relation [ 10 , 11 ]. $$\phi (z)={(1+z)^{ - \frac{1}{{1+\omega }}}}$$ 11 Our model (1) however, is different from the original Brans-Dicke theory, in that is additionally contains a self-interacting potential \(V(\phi )\) and the scalar-matter coupling \(C(\phi )L_{c}^{{(0)}}\) . Therefore we take the evolution of scalar field, generalizing Eq. ( 12 ) as following form $$\phi (z)={(1+z)^{ - \alpha (z)}}.$$ 12 Where \(\alpha (z)\) is generally a function of redshift to bedetermined. In modern cosmology, dark energy as a scalar field coupled with cold dark matter comes into fashion, as it seems to resolve so called “coincidence” problem [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Therefore we include in our model (1) such a coupling. And then as we mentioned in Sect. 1, the mass of scalar in the scalar-tensor gravity, if any plays important role in behavior of Brans-Dicke parameter \(\omega\) [ 8 , 2 ], we consider self-interacting. Potential which determines the mass of scalar field \(m_{s}^{2}\) . As Ref. [ 9 ] has shown the conservation equation of dark matter from Eq. ( 7 ) $${\dot {\rho }_c}(\phi )+3H{\rho _c}(\phi )=\frac{{d\ln C(\phi )}}{{dt}}{\rho _c}(\phi )=\delta H{\rho _c}(\phi )$$ 13 yields $$C\sim {a^\delta } \Rightarrow C={C_0}{(1+z)^{ - \delta }}.$$ 14 Where \(\delta\) is a constant and \({C_0}\) is value of coupling function at \(z=0\) . Therefore matter densities evolves as follows $${\rho _c}=C\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}={\rho _{{c_0}}}{(1+z)^{3 - \delta }}$$ 15 $${\rho _b}={\rho _{{b_0}}}{(1+z)^3}$$ 16 The conservation equation for scalar field is expressed as follows [ 9 ] $${\dot {\rho }_c}(\phi )+3H\left( {{\rho _\phi }+{P_\phi }} \right)=\frac{{d\ln C(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\dot {\phi }{\rho _c}$$ 17 Substituting relation (16) into r. h. s. of Eq. ( 17 ), can obtain the energy density of scalar field resolving Eq. ( 17 ) with respect to \({\rho _\phi }\) where \({P_\phi }={\omega _\phi }{\rho _\phi }\) and \({\omega _\phi }\) is equation of state parameter of scalar field. It reads $${\rho _\phi }={\rho _{{\phi _0}}}{(1+z)^{3(1+{\omega _\phi })}}+\frac{{\delta {\rho _{{c_0}}}\left[ {{{\left( {1+z} \right)}^{3(1+{\omega _\phi })}} - {{(1+z)}^{3 - \delta }}} \right]}}{{\delta +3{\omega _\phi }}}.$$ 18 Then Friedman equation $$3{H^2}\phi =C(\phi )\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}+{\rho _b}+{\rho _\phi }.$$ 19 Making use of Eqs. ( 16 ), ( 17 ) and (19), is written as follows $${H^2}(z)=H_{0}^{2}{(1+z)^\alpha }\left\{ {\left( {1 - {\Omega _c} - {\Omega _b}} \right){{\left( {1+z} \right)}^{3(1+{\omega _\phi })}}+{\Omega _b}{{(1+z)}^3}+{\Omega _c}\left[ {\frac{{3{\omega _\phi }}}{{\delta +3{\omega _\phi }}}{{(1+z)}^{3 - \delta }}+\frac{\delta }{{\delta +3{\omega _\phi }}}{{(1+z)}^{3(1+{\omega _\phi })}}} \right]} \right\}.$$ 20 Here, the parameters \({\Omega _c}\) and \({\Omega _b}\) are defined as follows $$\left. {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{\Omega _c} \equiv \frac{{{\rho _{{c_0}}}}}{{3{\phi _0}H_{0}^{2}}}} \\ {{\Omega _b} \equiv \frac{{{\rho _{{b_0}}}}}{{3{\phi _0}H_{0}^{2}}}} \end{array}} \right\}.$$ 21 Where \({\rho _{{c_0}}}\) and \({\rho _{{b_0}}}\) are current values of dark matter and baryon matter densities. In Eq. ( 21 ), parameters to be determined are \({\Omega _c},{\Omega _b},{\omega _\phi },\alpha\) and \(\delta\) . Our concern, however, is focused on the determination of the Brans-Dicke parameter \(\omega\) , so we must find another equation containing the parameter \(\omega\) . To that end, we use scalar field Eq. ( 11 ), but Eq. ( 11 ) includes potential function, we utilize Friedman Eq. ( 9 ) containing \(V(\phi )\) . Differentiating Eq. ( 9 ) with respect to \(\phi\) we obtain expression. $$\frac{{dV(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}=3{H^2}+3{H^2}\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\frac{{d\alpha }}{{dz}}} \right] - \frac{\omega }{2}{H^2}{\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\frac{{d\alpha }}{{dz}}} \right]^2} - \frac{{dC(\phi )}}{{d\phi }}\rho _{c}^{{(0)}}$$ 21 Here we used a relation derived from Eq. ( 13 ) $$\dot {\phi }=\phi H\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\frac{{d\alpha }}{{dz}}} \right]$$ 22 Where \(\frac{d}{{dt}}= - (1+z)H\frac{d}{{dz}}\) is used. Substituting the expression (22) into Eq. ( 11 ) for the scalar field we obtain a differential equation on the Hubble parameter \({H^2}(z)\) as follows $$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\left\{ {2 - \omega (1+z)\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\alpha ^{\prime}} \right]} \right\}\frac{{d{H^2}(z)}}{{dz}}= \hfill \\ =\left\{ {\omega (1+z)\left[ {2\alpha ^{\prime}+\alpha ^{\prime}\ln (1+z)+\alpha ^{\prime\prime}\ln (1+z)} \right]+3 - 3(\omega +1)\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\alpha ^{\prime}} \right]+\frac{1}{2}\omega ^{\prime}(1+z)\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\alpha ^{\prime}} \right]} \right\}{H^2}(z). \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ 23 Where \(\alpha ^{\prime}=\frac{{d\alpha }}{{dz}}\) and \(\omega ^{\prime}=\frac{{d\omega }}{{dz}}\) . Above, we assumed the parameter \(\omega\) to be a function of redshift. If we assume the parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\omega\) to be constants, then Eq. ( 23 ) reduces to a simple equation after integration. $${H^2}(z)=H_{0}^{2}{(1+z)^{\frac{{6(1 - \alpha - \omega \alpha )}}{{3 - \omega \alpha }}}}$$ 24 As the power in Eq. ( 24 ) is a constant, putting $$A \equiv \frac{{1 - \alpha - \omega \alpha }}{{3 - \omega \alpha }}.$$ 25 We can get the Brans-Dicke parameter as follows $$\omega =\frac{{1 - \alpha - 3A}}{{\alpha (1 - A)}}$$ 26 if the constant A is known. In the deriving Eq. ( 25 ), we can use the slow-rall approximation \(\ddot {\phi }<<2H\dot {\phi }\) . Then the scalar field equation becomes $$\frac{3}{2}(1+z)\frac{{d{H^2}(z)}}{{dz}}=\left\{ {3 - \left[ {3+3\omega - \omega ^{\prime}(1+z)} \right]\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\alpha ^{\prime}} \right]+\omega {{\left[ {\alpha +(1+z)\ln (1+z)\alpha ^{\prime}} \right]}^2}} \right\}{H^2}(z)$$ 27 In the case of constant \(\alpha\) and \(\omega\) , the Eq. ( 27 ), after integration reduces to a simple equation. $${H^2}(z)=H_{0}^{2}{(1+z)^{2\left[ {(1 - \alpha - \omega \alpha )+\frac{1}{3}\omega {\alpha ^2}} \right]}}$$ 28 Putting $$B \equiv (1 - \alpha - \omega \alpha )+\frac{{\omega {\alpha ^2}}}{3}.$$ 29 The unknown parameter \(\omega\) is a determined through $$\omega =\frac{{(1 - \alpha ) - B}}{{\alpha (1 - \frac{\alpha }{3})}}.$$ 30 3. Probe of the model with observations In this work, our main concern is focused on the behavior of the Brans-Dicke parameter \(\omega\) with time and spatial scale in the scalar-tensor theory of gravity. Therefore, in the utilization of cosmological observational data we do not mix the data corresponding to different cosmological epochs and spatial scales. For example, Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) contains the information on the rate of expansion at redshift \(z\sim 1100\) and baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) includes the information at low redshifts \(z \leqslant 1\sim 3\) . The observational data of SNIa come also from the low redshifts. Therefore, in our probes, we separate CMB data from BAO and SNIa data. 3.1 CMB As CMB data, we use the acoustic scale $${l_A}=\pi \frac{{r({z_*})}}{{{r_s}({z_*})}}$$ 31 which is defined in Ref. [ 15 ]. Here the commoving distance \(r(z)\) is defined $$r({z_{}})=\frac{c}{{{H_0}}}\int\limits_{0}^{{{z_*}}} {\frac{{dz^{\prime}}}{{E(z^{\prime})}}}$$ 32 And the commoving sound horizon distance at recombination \(z={z_*} \approx 1091\) is given by $${r_s}({z_*})=\int\limits_{{{z_*}}}^{\infty } {\frac{{{c_s}(z^{\prime})}}{{H(z^{\prime})}}} dz^{\prime}.$$ 33 Where the speed of sound is as follows $${c_s}(z)=c{\left[ {3\left( {1+\frac{{3{\Omega _b}}}{{4{\Omega _\gamma }}}\frac{1}{{1+z}}} \right)} \right]^{ - \frac{1}{2}}}$$ 34 $$E(z)={\raise0.7ex\hbox{${H(z)}$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{H(z)} {{H_0}}}}\right.\kern-0pt}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{${{H_0}}$}}$$ . The seven year WMAP observations give \({\Omega _\gamma }=2.469 \times {10^{ - 5}}{h^{ - 2}}\) and \({\Omega _\gamma }=0.02258\) [ 16 ]. In our analysis, the used acoustic scales \({l_A}({z_*})\) are given in Table 1 . Table 1 Observed acoustic scale \({l_A}\) Reference 301.57 [ 17 ] 302.06 [ 18 , 19 ] 302.35 [ 20 ] 3.2 BAO As the second observation data BAO, we use BAO distance ratio $$d(z)=\frac{{{r_s}({z_d})}}{{{D_\nu }(z)}}$$ 35 where \({r_s}({z_d})\) is the commoving sound horizon distance at the drag epoch \(z={z_d}=1021\) and the so-called lilaton scale \({D_\nu }\) is defined by $${D_\nu }(z)={\left[ {{{\left( {\int {\frac{{dz^{\prime}}}{{E(z^{\prime})}}} } \right)}^2}\frac{z}{{E(z)}}} \right]^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}}\right.\kern-0pt}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$3$}}}}\frac{C}{{{H_0}}}.$$ 36 In Table 2 , the BAO distance ratios are presented which is cited from Ref. [ 21 ]. Table 2 Observed BAO distance ratio Redshift, z BAO distance ratio \(d(z)=\frac{{{r_s}({z_d})}}{{{D_\nu }(z)}}\) 0.106 0.336 \(\pm\) 0.015 0.20 0.1905 \(\pm 0.0061\) 0.275 0.1390 \(\pm 0.0037\) 0.278 0.1389 \(\pm\) 0.0043 0.314 0.1239 \(\pm\) 0.0033 0.35 0.1126 \(\pm\) 0.0022 0.44 0.0916 \(\pm\) 0.0071 0.57 0.0732 \(\pm\) 0.0012 0.60 0.0726 \(\pm\) 0.0034 0.73 0.0592 \(\pm\) 0.0032 2.34 0.0320 \(\pm\) 0.0007 3.3 SNIa The third observation data are SNIa Union 2.The observed quantity is the distance modulus determines through the luminosity distance $$\mu (z)=5\lg {D_L}(z)+42.38 - 5\lg h - \frac{{15}}{4}\lg \Phi (z)$$ 37 where \({H_0}=100h{\raise0.7ex\hbox{${km}$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{km} {Mpc}}}\right.\kern-0pt}\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{${Mpc}$}}\) and \({D_L}(z)\) is dimensionless luminosity distance defined by relation $${D_L}(z)=(1+z)\int\limits_{0}^{z} {\frac{{dz^{\prime}}}{{E(z^{\prime})}}} .$$ 38 In Eq. a term containing scalar field is associated with fact that the peak luminosity of SNIa varies like \(L\sim {G^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}\) and corresponding absolute magnitude of SNIa evolves like $$M - {M_0}=\frac{{15}}{4}\lg \frac{G}{{{G_0}}}$$ 39 In the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity, \(\phi \sim {G^{ - 1}}\) and the scalar field term in Eq. ( 1 ) stands for this fact. We use “Union 2” data for SNIa. 4 Conclusion As we can see in Table 3, the coupling less model yields negative value of \(\alpha\) and \(\omega\) in the coupling less case he relation $$\alpha =\frac{1}{{1+\omega }}.$$ 40 Is satisfied, so we can estimate the parameter \(\omega\) from the value of \(\alpha\) , immediately. The values of \(\omega\) are − 7.2406 and − 10.4118 for CMB and BAO + SN, respectively. To evade the ghost field, the parameter \(\omega\) must satisfy \(\omega > - \frac{3}{2}\) . Therefore, the above values \(\omega < - \frac{3}{2}\) are thought to be unphysical and we delete them. This unphysical result are considered to rise from the assumption for the scalar-matter coupling to be absent. Hence, we recalculate the parameters of our model including the scalar matter coupling.Result yields a positive value of \(\alpha\) and positive one of \(\omega\) . It is \(\omega =59000\) .The scalar-matter coupling parameter is negative \(\delta = - 0.0099\) .Our estimation of the parameter \(\omega\) is more than the Cassini-experiment’s result. On the other hand, the fact that the scalar-matter coupling, parameter \(\delta\) is negative, implies a flow of energy from matter to scalar as the Eq. ( 16 ) shows. Our probe is preliminary because the above results are relying on the combined data of CMB + BAO + SN. The separate probes for the high and low redshift data will give more interesting results.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest problems in modern cosmology in our opinion, is whetherthe expansion dynamics of the universe is governing by the Einstein tensor gravity or the scalar-tensor one. After the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory was formulated a plethora of works has been dedicated to the test of theory in scalar system and in cosmological scale and to the elucidation of the true implication of the scalar field. Nevertheless for example the Brans-Dicke coupling parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\omega\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003eis being evaluated with tremendous tension hitherto.

On the other hand, the recent estimations of the parameter yield ever negative values.

Where their explanation of such a wide range of estimation of the parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\omega\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003efrom minus a few hundreds to a few tens of thousand should be found?\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst, it might be associated with whether the model one used was appropriate for description of the real Universe. Such a requirement makes it necessity construct a model as more inclusive as possible so as to be close to the observed Universe. Second, it may be associated with temporal evolution of the Universe and the difference of the spatial scales for the observational data. As Ref. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e] has pointed out the cosmological constraint on Brans-Dicke theory is different from the solar systems constraint since they concern very different spatial and temporal scales. For example the solar system experiment concerns smaller scale but curvature there is higher than in cosmological scale and this could lead to screen scalar and as a result the metric gravity (GR) plays the leading role. Perivolaropoulos [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e] considered Brans-Dicke gravity with massive scalar field and obtained a modified expression on PPN parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\gamma\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003efor that theory.

The relation(1) is different from the relation of the conventional Brans-Dicke theory with massless scalar \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\gamma =\\frac{{1+\\omega }}{{2+\\omega }}\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e.PPN-parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\gamma (\\omega ,{m_s},r)\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003eexpressed by relation (1) shows that parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\gamma\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e, in the case of massive scalar, depends not only on the mass of scalar itself, but also on what scale the experiment is performed on. Above-mentioned variety of the Brans-Dicke parameter \u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\omega\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003emay be explained by the relation (1) partly. But the relation (1) was derived under the assumption that the temporal evolution was neglected. However our main concern is the cosmological temporal evolution of the model parameters for long period of the evolution of the Universe. Therefore making use of current observational data we first calculate the model parameters for the high (CMB) and low (BAO\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;SN) redshift.
