contents In this paper, we present a stable and efficient approach for constructing Laguerre pseudospectral differentiation matrices. The proposed method reformulates the off-diagonal entries and computes all required quantities simultaneously using an existing fast algorithm that also generates the collocation nodes. For the diagonal entries, a closed-form expression is employed to improve numerical accuracy. This construction avoids the catastrophic cancellation present in classical formulations and yields an all-in-one procedure for generating differentiation matrices. Numerical experiments demonstrate improved robustness and sustained high accuracy for significantly larger numbers of collocation points compared to standard implementations.
