Let A_t $A_t$ be family of second order, positive, elliptic differential operator mapping Sobolev H^2 $H^2$ of a compact smooth manifold (or bounded domain) to L^2. Suppose that the coefficients of A_t $A_t$ converge uniformly in C^k $C^k$ for every k $k$ to the coefficients of a second order, positive, elliptic differential operator A. A $A$. $A$ is invertible (with domain L^2 and range H^2) and so we may consider the sequence $A_t \circ A_0^{-1}. A_0^{-1}$ of operators from $L^2$ to $L^2$. Does this family converge to the identity in the L^2 $L^2$ operator norm? Why or why not?

Convergence of elliptic operatorsLet A_t be family of second order, positive, elliptic differential operator mapping Sobolev H^2 of a compact smooth manifold (or bounded domain) to L^2.
