>>...I am 4 digit number...<<
So we have four blanks to fill in:
_ _ _ _

>>...My tens digit is the smallest single digit possible...<<
The ten's digit is 0 because it is the smallest single digit possible.

_ _ 0 _

>>...My thousands digit is thrice as large as my digit in the ones place...<<
The only digits that can be thrice another are 0,3,6,and 9, but 0
is out because the thousands digit can't be 0.  So that leaves 3,6,
and 9 for the thousands digit. 

>>...My thousands digit is ... half that of my hundreds digit.
The only one of those that can be half another digit is 3. So the
thousands digit is 3, 

3 _ 0 _

And that 3 is thrice the units digit, making the units digit 1. 

3 _ 0 1

And that 3 is also half the hundreds digit, making the hundreds digit 6.

3 6 0 1
