In this work, we consider a class of numerical quadrature formulas for the infiniterange
integrals where being the Exponential Integral. These formulas are obtained by applying the Levin L and Sidi S transformations, two effective convergence acceleration methods, to the asymptotic expansions of and they turn out to interpolatory. In addition their abscissas turn out to have some interesting properties: For example if ,are the abscissas of the appropriate n-point formula, then the polynomial is orthogonal to some set of n real exponential function , where are the zeros of some known polynomials. We provide some tables and numerical examples that shown the effectiveness quadrature formulas.
