If the limit of a density function exists does it the follow that it is zero? To put is formally
$$exists a in mathbb R lim_{t rightarrow infty} f(t) = a Rightarrow a= 0.$$

Yes.
Suppose the limit is anything else, so $lim_{t rightarrow infty} f(t) = a neq 0$. Then, by the definition of the limit, there is an $N$ so that for all $t > N$, $| f(t) - a | < frac{a}{2}$. In particular, $f(t) > frac{a}{2}$ in this reigon.
But then:
$$
int_{mathbf{R}} f(t) dt geq int_{N}^{infty} f(t) dt geq int_{N}^{infty} frac{a}{2} dt = infty
$$
So $f$ cannot be a density function.
