# Integrals $\int\limits_0^t {{e^u}\log u\operatorname d \!u}$ and $\int\limits_0^t {{e^{ - u}}\log u\operatorname d \!u}$

Ok, I want to find

$$\int\limits_0^t {{e^u}\log udu}$$ and $$\int\limits_0^t {{e^{ - u}}\log udu}$$

I'm thinking as follows

$$d\left( {{e^u}\log u} \right) = {e^u}\log udu + \frac{{{e^u}}}{u}du$$

$$d\left( {{e^{ - u}}\log u} \right) = - {e^{ - u}}\log udu + \frac{{{e^{ - u}}}}{u}du$$

Thus I put

$$\int {{e^u}\log udu} = {e^u}\log u - Ei\left( u \right)$$

$$\int {{e^{ - u}}\log udu} = Ei\left( { - u} \right) - {e^{ - u}}\log u$$

But then I want to integrate over $(0,t)$. My principal concern is proving that for $t\to 0$

$$Ei\left( { - t} \right) - {e^{ - u}}\log u\to \gamma$$

$${e^u}\log u - Ei\left( t \right) \to -\gamma$$

How would you solve this?

EDIT: Ok I've found that $$Ei(t) = \gamma + \log(t) + z + \frac{z^2}{4} + \cdots + \frac{z^n}{n n!}+\cdots$$

The new question would be: How do I prove such expansion?

I mean, I know that

$$\int \frac{e^x}{x} dx = \log x + \sum_{n>0} \frac{x^n}{n n!}$$

But then again where does $\gamma$ appear? Since $$Ei(t) = \int_{-\infty}^t \frac{e^u}{u} du$$ I'd need to find the limit for $x \to -\infty$, which should be $\gamma$.

Is guess you could also use $$Ei(t) = \log t + \int_0^t {\frac{e^u-1}{u}du}$$ which is a more "natural" definition in the sense the integral is always converging for finite $t$ and the logarithm instantly discloses the discontinuity at $t=0$

For $\int_0^te^u\log u\,\mathrm{d}u$,
Consider \begin{align*} f(x) &= \int_0^tu^xe^u\,\mathrm{d}u \\ &= \int_0^tu^x\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty \frac{u^n}{n!}\,\mathrm{d}u \\ &=\int_0^t\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{u^{n+x}}{n!}\,\mathrm{d}u\\ &=\left[\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{u^{n+x+1}}{n!\,(n+x+1)}\right]_0^t=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+x+1}}{n!\,\left(n+x+1\right)}, \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} f'(x) &=\int_0^tu^xe^u\log u\,\mathrm{d}u \\ &=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+x+1}\log t}{n!\,(n+x+1)}-\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+x+1}}{n!\,(n+x+1)^2} \end{align*} Therefore \begin{align*} \int_0^te^u\log u\,\mathrm{d}u =f'(0) &=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+1}\log t}{n!\,(n+1)}-\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+1}}{n!\,(n+1)^2} \\ &=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+1}\log t}{(n+1)!}-\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{t^{n+1}}{(n+1)!\,(n+1)} \\ &=(e^t-1)\log t-\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty\frac{t^n}{n!\,n} \end{align*} For $\int_0^te^{-u}\log u\,\mathrm{d}u$,
