∫ (dx/x^x ) dx

$$\int\:\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{x}} }\:\mathrm{dx} \\ $$

do you mean ∫(dx/x^x ) ? I don′t think x^x as well as x^(−x) are integrable.

∫(1/x^x )dx=∫e^(−xln(x)) dx =∫Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (((−xln(x))^n )/(n!))dx =∫Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (((−1)^n x^n ln^n (x))/(n!))dx =Σ_(n=0) ^∞ ((−1)^n (1/(n!))∫x^n ln^n (x)dx)

$$\int\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{{x}} }{dx}=\int{e}^{−{x}\mathrm{ln}\left({x}\right)} {dx} \\ $$$$=\int\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\frac{\left(−{x}\mathrm{ln}\left({x}\right)\right)^{{n}} }{{n}!}{dx} \\ $$$$=\int\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} {x}^{{n}} \mathrm{ln}^{{n}} \left({x}\right)}{{n}!}{dx} \\ $$$$=\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\left(\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}!}\int{x}^{{n}} \mathrm{ln}^{{n}} \left({x}\right){dx}\right) \\ $$

I can further solve if it were a definite integral ∫_0 ^( 1)

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{further}\:\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{were}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{definite} \\ $$$$\mathrm{integral}\:\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\mathrm{1}} \\ $$
