Let $O\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded domain of the class $C^{1,1}$ (or $C^2$ for simplicity). Let the operator $A_D$ be formally given by the differential expression $A=-\mathrm{div}g(x)\nabla$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition. ($A$ means the expression, and $A_D$ is the corresponding operator.) Here $g(x)>0$, $g,g^{−1}\in L_\infty$. The precise definition is given via the quadratic form on $H^1_0(O)$. If the matrix of coefficients $g$ and the boundary are smooth enough, we can define $A_D$ by the differential expression $-\mathrm{div}g(x)\nabla$ on $H^2(O)\cap H^1_0(O)=\mathrm{Ran}A_D^{-1}$, so for the expression $A$ acting on the resolvent $A^{−1}_D$ we have $$\Vert A A_D^{-1}\Vert _{L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\rightarrow L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)}=\Vert A_D A_D^{-1}\Vert _{L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\rightarrow L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)}=1.$$ **Question:** Is there are any hope to prove the estimate $$\Vert A A_D^{-1}\Vert _{L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\rightarrow L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)}\leqslant \mathrm{const}$$ for the operator with non-smooth coefficients in the domain of class $C^{1,1}$ (or $C^2$ )? (Here the expression $A$ is initially considered as operator from $H^1$ to $H^{−1}$ .) E. g., by using of mollification of coefficients. (I am also interested in this question for strongly elliptic systems in a divergent form: $A=b(D)^∗g(x)b(D)$ , $b=\sum _{l=1}^d b_lD_l$ , $b_l$ are constant matrices, the symbol of $b(D)$ has maximal rank.)
