In this paper, we make use of the Sobolev space W1,1 (R+,Rn) to derive at once the Pontryagin conditions for the standard optimal growth model in continuous time, including a necessary and sufficient transversality condition. An application to the Ramsey model is given. We use an order ideal argument to solve the problem inherent to the fact that L1 spaces have natural positive cones with no interior points.
