We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian Delta(a) in a family of bounded domains {-a < x < b, 0 < y < epsilon h(x)}. The main assumption is that x = 0 is the only point of global maximum of the positive, continuous function h(x). We find the two-term asymptotics in epsilon -> 0 of the eigenvalues and the one-term asymptotics of the corresponding eigenfunctions. The asymptotic formulas obtained involve the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an auxiliary ODE on R that depends on the behavior of h(x) as x -> 0. The proof is based on a detailed study of the resolvent of the operator Delta(a).
