This conjecture is false. A nice counter example is given by David Speyer in the comments.
Yesterday I imagined up a nice little conjecture on real trigonometric polynomials. Much to my surprise, I couldn't find any such thing on googling the net. I don't know what are the implications or importance (if any) of this conjecture, if it were correct. I'd like to know whether the conjecture is true, and also a proof. In case its already treated in the literature, please give a pointer to a source.
Conjecture
Let $f_N(x)$ be a real trigonometric polynomial of degree $N$. Let $P = \{x_p|x_p \in (0,2\pi) \land (f^'_N(x_p) = 0 \lor f^''_N(x_p) = 0)\}$ Let $B = \{(x_i,x_j)| x_i,x_j\in P \wedge x_i\ne x_j\}$ Then $\min\limits_{(x_i,x_j)\in B} |x_i-x_j| \ge \frac{\pi}{2N}$
Note : $f^'_N(x)$,$f^''_N(x)$ are respectively, the first and second derivatives of $f_N(x)$
PS : Please let me know if you find this theorem interesting or useful in any part of Mathematics.
EDIT 1 : Adding a short summary of the statement in words as requested by Chris Taylor to avoid any possible confusion to the reader while parsing the symbols.
Let $P$ be the set of all points where either the first derivative or second derivative of a given real trigonometric polynomial of degree $N$ vanish. The conjecture is that the shortest of the distances between any two distinct points in $P$ is at least $\frac{\pi}{2N}$. I hope this summary in words is accurate. If not please let me know the mistakes.
