Abstract: In this paper we consider the two-dimensional Schr"odinger operator with an attractive potential which is a multiple of the characteristic function of an unbounded strip-shaped region, whose thickness is varying and is determined by the function $mathbbRixmapstod+varepsilonf(x)$, where $d>0$ is a constant, $varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, and $f$ is a compactly supported continuous function. We prove that if $in{t}_{mathbbR}f,mathsfdx>0$, then the respective Schr"odinger operator has a unique simple eigenvalue below the threshold of the essential spectrum for all sufficiently small $varepsilon>0$ and we obtain the asymptotic expansion of this eigenvalue in the regime $varepsilonightarrow0$. An asymptotic expansion of the respective eigenfunction as $varepsilonightarrow0$ is also obtained. In the case that $in{t}_{mathbbR}f,mathsfdx<0$ we prove that the discrete spectrum is empty for all sufficiently small $varepsilon>0$. In the critical case $in{t}_{mathbbR}f,mathsfdx=0$, we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique bound state for all sufficiently small $varepsilon>0$.
