We use the Simon, Verde, & Jimenez (2005) determination of the redshiftdependence of the Hubble parameter to constrain cosmological parameters inthree dark energy cosmological models. We consider the standard $\Lambda$CDMmodel, the XCDM parameterization of the dark energy equation of state, and aslowly rolling dark energy scalar field with an inverse power-law potential.The constraints are restrictive, consistent with those derived from Type Iasupernova redshift-magnitude data, and complement those from galaxy cluster gasmass fraction versus redshift data.Comment: Minor changes, including an estimate for H_0.
