How to solve $\int x^xdx$

Indefinite integral $\int x^x dx $ knowing that $x^x=e^{x \ln x}$ and then using method of partial integration recursively I can get an infinite series. Does exist a closed form of this integral expressed in terms of elementary functions. I am interested also where appear this sort of integral.

The closed form for this integral doesn't exist. For proof, this would surely help: Proof that $\int x^x dx$ can't be done in terms of elementary functions?
