§6.12(i) Exponential and Logarithmic Integrals

6.12.1 E1(z)ezz(11!z+2!z23!z3+),
z, |phz|32πδ(<32π).

When |phz|12π the remainder is bounded in magnitude by the first neglected term, and has the same sign when phz=0. When 12π|phz|<π the remainder term is bounded in magnitude by csc(|phz|) times the first neglected term. For these and other error bounds see Olver (1997b, pp. 109–112) with α=0.

For re-expansions of the remainder term leading to larger sectors of validity, exponential improvement, and a smooth interpretation of the Stokes phenomenon, see §§2.11(ii)2.11(iv), with p=1.

6.12.2 Ei(x)exx(1+1!x+2!x2+3!x3+),
x+.

If the expansion is terminated at the nth term, then the remainder term is bounded by 1+χ(n+1) times the next term. For the function χ see §9.7(i).

The asymptotic expansion of li(x) as x is obtainable from (6.2.8) and (6.12.2).

§6.12(ii) Sine and Cosine Integrals

The asymptotic expansions of Si(z) and Ci(z) are given by (6.2.19), (6.2.20), together with

6.12.3 f(z) 1z(12!z2+4!z46!z6+),
6.12.4 g(z) 1z2(13!z2+5!z47!z6+),

as z in |phz|πδ(<π).

The remainder terms are given by

6.12.5 f(z) =1zm=0n1(1)m(2m)!z2m+Rn(f)(z),
6.12.6 g(z) =1z2m=0n1(1)m(2m+1)!z2m+Rn(g)(z),

where, for n=0,1,2,,

6.12.7 Rn(f)(z) =(1)n0eztt2nt2+1dt,
6.12.8 Rn(g)(z) =(1)n0eztt2n+1t2+1dt.

When |phz|14π, these remainders are bounded in magnitude by the first neglected terms in (6.12.3) and (6.12.4), respectively, and have the same signs as these terms when phz=0. When 14π|phz|<12π the remainders are bounded in magnitude by csc(2|phz|) times the first neglected terms.

For other phase ranges use (6.4.6) and (6.4.7). For exponentially-improved asymptotic expansions, use (6.5.5), (6.5.6), and §6.12(i).
