E2
(*args, **kwargs)¶ Calculate Exponential integral \(E_2(x)\) from \(E_1(x)\).
- Parameters
x (np.double or array-like) – independent variable x
- Returns
E2 – 2nd order Exponential integral of x
- Return type
np.double or array-like
Notes
Using relation 1 Equation(11.127):
\[E_{n+1}(x) = [e^{-x} - xE_{n}(x)] / n\]References
