En-Function

The function is defined by the integral

(1)

and is given by the Mathematica

(Wolfram Research, Champaign, IL) function ExpIntegralE[n,x].Defining

so that

(2)

(3)

The function satisfies the Recurrence Relations

(4)

(5)

Equation (4) can be derived from

			(7)

and (5) using integrating by parts, letting

(8)

(9)

gives




			(10)

Solving (10) for

then gives (5). An asymptotic expansion gives

(11)
