How do we numerically integrate a rapidly decaying exponential function? A simple Gauss quadrature which is based on approximating the function by polynomial, I think will not work, since rapidly decaying exponential function will require more terms in the series. Is there a series approximation for the function?

0I'm able integrate using simpson's rule. But the number of function evaluation is more. – 2010-12-24

Variable substitution to make $k=1$, and use Gauss-Laguerre. For more advanced method, the double exponential transformation maybe relevant.
