3.5.1.3.30 Exp_integral

Definition:

E1 = exp\_integral(x) evaluates

E_1(x)=\int_x^\infty \frac{e^{-u}}udu , x>0

The approximation is based on several Chebyshev expansions.

For more information please review the s13aac function in the NAG document.

Parameters:

x (input, double)
The argument x of the function.
Constraint: x>0.0
E1 (output, double)
The approximation of the formula E_1(x)=\int_x^\infty \frac{e^{-u}}udu , x>0
