Positive-potential growth from Brownian recurrence

Suppose bounded $V\ge 0$ is bounded below by a positive constant on some nonempty open interval, and $f\ge C>0$. The Feynman-Kac formula with a bounded potential gives $u(t,x)\ge C{\mathbb{E}}_x{e}^{{\int }_0^{t}V(B_s)ds}$. Infinite occupation time of one-dimensional Brownian motion makes that integral tend to infinity almost surely. The monotone convergence theorem then gives $u(t,x)\to \infty$ for every fixed $x$. Thus no globally bounded classical solution exists under these hypotheses, although boundedness on every finite time slab is compatible with the conclusion.
