The exponential integrals are $$\mathrm{Ei}(z) = \int_{-\infty}^x \dfrac{e^t}{t} dt; |\mathrm{arg}(-z)|<\pi,$$ $$E_1(z) = \displaystyle\int_z^{\infty} \dfrac{e^{-t}}{t}dt;|\mathrm{arg \hspace{2pt}}z<\pi|,$$ and $$E_n(z)=\displaystyle\int_1^{\infty} \dfrac{e^{-zt}}{t^n} dt.$$

Properties

Proposition: The exponential integral $\mathrm{Ei}$ is related to the logarithmic integral by the formula $$\mathrm{li}(x)=\mathrm{Ei}( \log(x)); n=0,1,2,\ldots, \mathrm{Re}(z)>0$$

Proof:

Proposition: The following series representation holds for $\mathrm{Ei}$: $$\mathrm{Ei}(x) = \gamma + \log x + \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{x^k}{kk!}; x>0.$$
