Abstract
A solution to Schr\"odinger's equation needs some degree of regularity in order to allow the construction of a Bohmian mechanics from the integral curves of the velocity field In the case of one specific non-differentiable weak solution we show how Bohmian trajectories can be obtained for from the trajectories of a sequence (For any real the sequence converges strongly.) The limiting trajectories no longer need to be differentiable. This suggests a way how Bohmian mechanics might work for arbitrary initial vectors in the Hilbert space on which the Schr\"{o}dinger evolution acts.
