Meller %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X We consider curvature-induced resonances in a planar two-dimensional Dirichlet tube of a width $ d $. It is shown that the distances of the corresponding resonance poles from the real axis are exponentially small as $ d\to 0+ $, provided the curvature of the strip axis satisfies certain analyticity and decay requirements. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/funct-an/9709001v1
