COMMENTS
The higher order exponential integrals, see A163931, are defined by E(x,m,n) = x^(n-1)*int(E(t,m-1,n)/t^n, t=x..infinity) for m>=1 and n>=1, with E(x,m=0,n) = exp(-x).
The series expansions of the higher order exponential integrals are dominated by the gamma(k,n) and the alpha(k,n) constants, see A163927.
The values of the gamma(k,n) = G(k,n) coefficients can be determined with the Maple program.

FORMULA
G(2,1) = gamma(2,1) = gamma^2/2+Pi^2/12.
G(k,n) = (1/k)*(gamma*G(k-1,n)) - (1/k)*Sum_{p=1..n-1}(p^(-1))* G(k-1,n) + (1/k)* Sum_{i=0..k-2}(Zeta(k-i) * G(i,n)) - (1/k)*Sum_{i=0..k-2}(Sum_{p=1..n-1}(p^(i-k)) * G(i,n)) with G(0,n) = 1 for k>=0 and n>=1.
G(k,n+1) = G(k,n) -G(k-1,n)/n.
GF(z,n) = GAMMA(n-z)/GAMMA(n).
EXAMPLE
G(2,1) = 0.9890559953279725553953956515...

CROSSREFS
Cf. A163931 (E(x,m,n)), A163927 (alpha(k,n)).
G(1,1) equals A001620 (gamma).
(gamma - G(1,n)) equals A001008(n-1)/A002805(n-1) for n>=2.
The structure of the G(k,n=1) formulas lead (replace gamma by G and Zeta by Z) to A036039.
