The problem in the title states: ``If the \(n_j\) are distinct integers, what is the lower bound on the number of real zeros of \(\sum^N_{j=1} \cos(n_j\theta)\)? Possibly \(N-1\), or not much less.'' The authors prove the following theorem, which shows that \(N-1\) is not correct. There exists such a cosine polynomial whose number of zeros in the interval \([-\pi, \pi)\) is \(O(N^{5/6}\log N)\).
