Two-point boundary value problems for conservative systems are studied in the context of the least action principle. One obtains a fundamental solution, whereby two-point boundary value problems are converted to initial value problems via an idempotent convolution of the fundamental solution with a cost function related to the terminal data. The classical mass-spring problem is included as a simple example. The N-body problem under gravitation is also studied. There, the least action principle optimal control problem is converted to a differential game, where an opposing player maximizes over an indexed set of quadratics to yield the gravitational potential. Solutions are obtained as indexed sets of solutions of Riccati equations.
