The construction is based on the fact that, for a suitable potential defined on a time interval of length T, the absolute value of velocity for a Lagrangian minimizer can be as large as O((log T)^(2-2/alpha)). We also show that this growth estimate cannot be surpassed. Implications of this example for existence of global generalized solutions to randomly forced Hamilton-Jacobi or Burgers equations are discussed.19 pages, no figures; based on a talk given at the workshop "Idempotent Mathematics and Mathematical Physics" at the E.
