 Solution

The function $e^{-x^2}/x$ is strictly decreasing from infinity to zero on $x>0$, so there is a unique positive root, which tends to infinity. Let $L=\log (1/ϵ)$. Taking logarithms givesFirst $x^2\sim L$. Put $x=\sqrt{L}+d$ with $d=o(\sqrt{L})$, expand, and cancel $L$:The leading balance gives $d=-(\log L)/(4\sqrt{L})$. Substitution leaves a residual $O((\log L{)}^2/L)$; the derivative of $x^2+\log x$ is of order $\sqrt{L}$, so the root error is $O((\log L{)}^2/L^{3/2})$. ThusThe second term is logarithmic rather than a constant multiple of $L^{-1/2}$. This is logarithmic inversion of a Gaussian divided by its argument.
