Abstract
We introduce new methods for the numerical solution of general Hamiltonian boundary value problems. The main feature of the new formulae is to produce numerical solutions along which the energy is precisely conserved, as is the case with the analytical solution. We apply the methods to locate periodic orbits in the circular restricted three body problem by using their energy value rather than their period as input data. We also use the methods for solving optimal transfer problems in astrodynamics.
