SpecialFuncs::E1 Function

double E1(double X);

Exponential integral E1(x) = -Ei(-x).

#NameTypeDescription
1XdoubleArgument of the exponential integral; must be greater than zero.

Returns: the exponential integral E1(x) = -Ei(-x).

Remarks:

Computes the exponential integral of the first kind,

E_1(x)=integral _x^(inf)(e^(-t))/t dt=-Ei(-x),

defined and positive for x > 0, decreasing monotonically from +\infty at x\to 0^+ toward 0 as x\to\infty (asymptotically e^{-x}/x). Domain: real x > 0.
