Abstract
In the present paper, the asymptotic behaviour of classical and new limit tests is investigated analytically. Exact analytical solutions are derived for a set of new limit tests. The classical and the new limit tests are subsequently employed to test the asymptotic behaviour of the RFNS element. The numerically obtained asymptotic behaviour is compared against the corresponding analytical solutions.
