Abstract

Let ΩRd\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d be bounded open and connected. Suppose that W1,2(Ω)Lr(Ω)W^{1,2}(\Omega) \subset L^r(\Omega) for some r>2r > 2. Let AA be a pure second-order elliptic differential operator with bounded real measurable coefficients on Ω\Omega. Let q>dq > d with 121q>1r\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{q} > \frac{1}{r}. If pp is the dual exponent of qq, then we show that the pre-image of the space (W1,p(Ω))(W^{1,p}(\Omega))^* under the map AA is contained in the space of bounded functions on Ω\Omega. The considerations are complemented by results on optimal Sobolev regularity for AA.
