Definition

For $x>0$ with $x\neq1$ the logarithmic integral is the principal value $\operatorname{li}(x)=\operatorname{PV}\!\int_0^x \mathrm{d}t/\log t$ [4]. This table holds it at selected real $x$.

Parameters

$x$

— argument ($x>0$, $x\ne1$)

Formulas

(1)

For $x>0$ and $x\ne1$, $\operatorname{li}(x)=\operatorname{PV}\!\int_0^x \mathrm{d}t/\log t=\operatorname{Ei}(\log x)$ [4].

Comments

(2)

Riemann's offset logarithmic integral satisfies $\operatorname{Li}(x)=\operatorname{li}(x)-\operatorname{li}(2)$ for $x>1$ [2].

(3)

The existing decimal powers remain the explicit prime-counting benchmarks of [8], not a new decimal mesh. The first nine primes, including the retained argument $2$, provide a bounded reference at the first jumps of prime counting; this is our exploratory selection, not a claim that the source tabulates those inputs. The exact substitution $\operatorname{li}(e^m)=\operatorname{Ei}(m)$ selects short exponential arguments on both sides of $1$ and distinguishes the unoffset convention [4]. The exponent list is a finite reference choice, not a completeness claim.

Data properties

Entries are of type: real number

How well the digits are known: proven

Table is complete: no (it preserves $\operatorname{li}(2)$ and the published $10^n$ benchmarks for $1\leq n\leq22$, and adds primes $3\leq p\leq23$ and $e^m$ for $m=-2,-1,1,2,3,4$ as exploratory structural references on both sides of the singularity at $1$)

How they were obtained:

All retained numeric strings, exact values and row annotations are unchanged. The standalone generate.py, balanced_values.py and selection.json reproduce the entire current selection. Each finite Arb enclosure at 733 bits must fit inside the interval claimed by the written last place; a second run uses 912 bits. New nonexact entries have 100 significant digits.

Every new entry has an independent mpmath quadrature, closed-form or inverse-function check at 150 and 200 decimal digits, with a nonzero known-integral control. Arguments are exact rationals or propagated balls from exact expressions; root arguments use strict sign-certified rational brackets. Lambert and saddle roots also pass endpoint sign tests on the written last-place interval. The measurements are in coverage-checks.json. Older attachments are retained for provenance; their previous enumerations are historical, and the active enumeration is selection.json.
