oscillation
IPA: ɑsʌɫˈeɪʃʌn
noun
- the act of oscillating or the state of being oscillated
- a regular periodic fluctuation in value about some mean
- a single such cycle
- (mathematics) (of a function) defined for each point x in the domain of the function by inf diam(f(U))∣Uisaneighborhoodofx, and describes the difference (possibly ∞) between the limit superior and limit inferior of the function near that point.

Examples of "oscillation" in Sentences
- The question is what is the frequency of the oscillation.
- It is important in the understanding of neutrino oscillations.
- The direction of oscillation is along the direction of travel.
- The frequency of oscillation is as given in the previous section.
- The reason for the oscillation is due to the conservation of energy.
- The frequency of an oscillation or a wave is the reciprocal of the period.
- Any way the period of the oscillation is an inherent function of the delay.
- If the support is moved, the mode of oscillation of the pendulum will change.
- Neither short-term oscillation nor long-term warming trend are really dangerous.
- The rhythmic movement between energy expenditure and energy recovery is called oscillation.
- From a technical viewpoint, thrust oscillation is a very solvable problem with a number of possible solutions.
- At higher neutrino energies, the process of oscillation is enhanced by interactions with electrons in the Sun or in the Earth.
- If one just had 20 years of data, this long term oscillation may look like a trend, but if several hundred years of data were available, then the long-term cyclic variation would be visible.
- The colder than normal air across the mid-Atlantic States and Ohio Valley and the increased thermal gradient along the coast are two reasons why negative NAO winters tend to be snowier than periods when the oscillation is in its opposite phase.
- For those new to this issue, thrust oscillation is a phenomenon that can appear in all solid rockets where pressure created during launch conditions creates an up-and-down vibration at a frequency that could impact crew situational awareness or health.
