This work addresses distributed control design by using density-dependent population dynamics. Furthermore, stability of the equilibrium point under this proposed class of population dynamics is studied, and the relationship between the equilibrium point of density-dependent population games (DDPG) and the solution of constrained optimization problems is shown. Finally, a distributed predictive control is designed with the proposed density-dependent dynamics, and contemplating a time-varying communication network.
