Option variable: expintrep

  Default value: false

  Change the representation of one of the exponential integrals, expintegral_e(m, z), expintegral_e1, or expintegral_ei to an equivalent form if possible.

  Possible values for expintrep are false, gamma_incomplete, expintegral_e1, expintegral_ei, expintegral_li, expintegral_trig, or expintegral_hyp.

  false means that the representation is not changed. Other values indicate the representation is to be changed to use the function specified where expintegral_trig means expintegral_si, expintegral_ci, and expintegral_hyp means expintegral_shi or expintegral_chi.

  Expand the Exponential Integral E[n](z) for half integral values in terms of Erfc or Erf and for positive integers in terms of Ei
