We study mean-field control (MFC) problems with common noise using the control randomisation framework, where we substitute the control process with an independent Poisson point process, controlling its intensity instead. To address the challenges posed by the mean-field interactions in this randomisation approach, we reformulate the admissible control as L 0 -valued processes adapted only to the common noise. We then construct the randomised control problem from this reformulated control process, and show its equivalence to the original MFC problem. Thanks to this equivalence, we can represent the value function as the minimal solution to a backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) with constrained jumps. Finally, using this probabilistic representation, we derive a randomised dynamic programming principle (DPP) for the value function, expressed as a supremum over equivalent probability measures.

  1. Mean Field Control with Poissonian Common Noise: A Pathwise Compactification Approach

    math.OC 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Mean-field control with finite-intensity Poissonian common noise admits optimal relaxed controls, and the same pathwise compactification yields strong mean-field equilibria in games.

  2. The randomization method in stochastic optimal control

    math.OC 2025-02 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A survey of the randomization method proving that the value of an optimal control problem equals the value of a randomized problem and is represented by a constrained BSDE, with a complete tour of applications.
