The
logarithmic integral function
, denoted
as
\( \mathrm{Li}(
x) \)
, is
a
special
function
that is defined
as
follows: \[ \mathrm{Li}(
x
) = \
int
_
2
^
x
\frac{dt}{\log(
t
)} \] for \(
x
>
1 \)
. The
function
is often used in
number theory
, particularly in relation to the distribution of
prime numbers
.
