Abstract: The famous Laguerre polynomials are orthogonal over [0,\infty) with respect to a negative exponential weight function. They are thus natural candidates for the efficient numerical approximation of such decaying exponential behaviour. We shall give a number of examples, including stable manifolds and fluid mechanics problems related to dynamical systems.
