We propose a three-step block method of Adam’s type to solve nonlinear second-order two-point boundary value problems of Dirichlet type and Neumann type directly. We also extend this method to solve the system of second-order boundary value problems which have the same or different two boundary conditions. The method will be implemented in predictor corrector mode and obtain the approximate solutions at three points simultaneously using variable step size strategy. The proposed block method will be adapted with multiple shooting techniques via the three-step iterative method. The boundary value problem will be solved without reducing to first-order equations. The numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this work, we develop a new method to design energy minimum low-thrust missions (L2-minimization). In the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem, the knowledge of invariant manifolds helps us initialize an indirect method solving a transfer mission between periodic Lyapunov orbits. Indeed, using the PMP, the optimal control problem is solved using Newton-like algorithms finding the zero of a shooting function. To compute a Lyapunov to Lyapunov mission, we first compute an admissible trajectory using a heteroclinic orbit between the two periodic orbits. It is then used to initialize a multiple shooting method in order to release the constraint. We finally optimize the terminal points on the periodic orbits. Moreover, we use continuation methods on position and on thrust, in order to gain robustness. A more general Halo to Halo mission, with different energies, is computed in the last section without heteroclinic orbits but using invariant manifolds to initialize shooting methods with a similar approach.

Two-point block method with variable step-size strategy is presented to obtain the solutions for boundary value problems directly. Dirichlet type and Neumann type of boundary conditions are studied in this paper. Multiple shooting techniques adapted with the three-step iterative method are employed for generating the guessing value. Six boundary value problems are solved using the proposed method, and the numerical results are compared to the existing methods. The results suggest a significant improvement in the efficiency of the proposed methods in terms of the number of steps, execution time, and accuracy.
