Abstract: We study how the constants G and Lambda may vary in different theoretical models (general relativity with a perfect fluid, scalar cosmological models ( extquotedblleft quintessence extquotedblright) with and without interacting scalar and matter fields and a scalar-tensor model with a dynamical Lambda) in order to explain some observational results. We apply the program outlined in section II to study three different geometries which generalize the FRW ones, which are Bianchi extrm{V}, extrm{VII}0 and extrm{IX}, under the self-similarity hypothesis. We put special emphasis on calculating exact power-law solutions which allow us to compare the different models. In all the studied cases we arrive to the conclusion that the solutions are isotropic and noninflationary while the cosmological constant behaves as a positive decreasing time function (in agreement with the current observations) and the gravitational constant behaves as a growing time function.
