In the present investigation we use observational data of to determine observational constraints in the plane
using two different methods: the growth factor parametrization and the numerical solutions method for density contrast,
. We verified the correspondence between both methods for three models of accelerated expansion: the
model, the
model and the running cosmological constant RCC model. In all case we consider also the curvature as free parameter. The study of this correspondence is important because the growth factor parametrization method is frequently used to discriminate between competitive models. Our results we allow us to determine that there is a good correspondence between the observational constrains using both methods. We also test the power of the
data to constraints the curvature parameter within the
model. For this we use a non-parametric reconstruction using Gaussian processes. Our results show that the
data with the current precision level does not allow to distinguish between a flat and non-flat universe.
