Jan 15 at 1:15 comment added Christian Remling I of course fell into the same little trap as before, this time with $y_n=0$.
Jan 15 at 0:15 comment added António Borges Santos Can you now help me with a concrete choice of $x_n$ and $y_n$?
Jan 15 at 0:15 comment added António Borges Santos Okay, let's say $z_n=\log(n)^2$ then $z_n$ satisfies the assumptions since $\log(\int_0^{\infty} e^{-\varepsilon \log(x)^2} dx) $ behaves like $\frac{1}{4\varepsilon}.$ Thus $\lim_{\varepsilon \downarrow 0}\varepsilon \log( \sum_n e^{-\varepsilon z_n}) = \frac{1}{4}$ if I am not mistaken.
Jan 14 at 23:52 comment added António Borges Santos @ChristianRemling yes, but remember also that $x_n \to 0$ and $y_n \to \infty$ are necessary. So you can rearrange but the tail behaviour is somehow determined...
Jan 14 at 23:26 comment added António Borges Santos well, $y$ also has to have the property that $\lim_{\varepsilon \downarrow 0} \varepsilon \log(\sum_{n} e^{-\varepsilon y_n})=0$, right?
Jan 14 at 23:18 comment added António Borges Santos @ChristianRemling Thanks, I added as a constraint that $(z_{n})$ is strictly increasing. Notice that $y$ cannot vanish too often, since otherwise the sum is infinite right away. Does this address your concern?
