We consider second‐order uniformly elliptic operators subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such operators are considered on a bounded domain Ω and on the domain ϕ (Ω) resulting from Ω by means of a bi‐Lipschitz map ϕ . We consider the solutions u and ũ of the corresponding elliptic equations with the same right‐hand side f ∈ L 2 (Ω ∪ ϕ (Ω)). Under certain assumptions, we estimate the difference ∥ ∇ ũ − ∇ u ∥L 2( Ω ∪ φ ( Ω ) )in terms of certain measure of vicinity of ϕ to the identity map. For domains within a certain class, this provides estimates in terms of the Lebesgue measure of the symmetric difference of ϕ (Ω) and Ω, that is, | ϕ (Ω) △ Ω | . We provide an example that shows that the estimates obtained are in a certain sense sharp. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
