Exponential integral
Y = expint(X)
Y = expint(X) evaluates the exponential integral for each element of X.

The exponential integral computed by this function is defined as
E1(x)=∫x∞e−t/t dt
Another common definition of the exponential integral function is the Cauchy principal value integral
Ei(x)=∫−∞xet/t dt
which, for real positive x, is related to expint as
expint
E1(−x)=−Ei(x)−iπ
