Exponential integral Ei.

LAX-backend implementation of expi().

Original docstring below.

For real \(x\), the exponential integral is defined as 1

\[Ei(x) = \int_{-\infty}^x \frac{e^t}{t} dt.\]

For \(x > 0\) the integral is understood as a Cauchy principle value.

It is extended to the complex plane by analytic continuation of the function on the interval \((0, \infty)\). The complex variant has a branch cut on the negative real axis.

Parameters

x (array_like) – Real or complex valued argument
out (ndarray, optional) – Optional output array for the function results

Returns

Values of the exponential integral

Return type

scalar or ndarray
