"Calculations on/about the limiting behaviour"

Question

I did some calculations ___ the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.

Is it about, on, or even something else?

Both are acceptable, but you could use "for" either.

Depending on what you specifically did, you may have more specific words other than about, or on:

I did some calculations defining the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations constraining the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations projecting the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations deducing the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations reducing the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations perceiving the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations over the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
I did some calculations predicting the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.

"on" sounds somewhat more academic than "about" to my ear.

I did some calculations on the limiting behaviour of some functions, when n tends to infinity.
