In mathematics|lang=en terms the difference between oscillaton and oscillation

is that oscillaton is (mathematics) a spherically-symmetric solution to an while oscillation is (mathematics) (of a function) defined for each point $x$ in the domain of the function by $\backslash inf\backslash left\backslash \{\backslash mathrm\{diam\}(f(u))\backslash mid\; u\backslash mathrm\{\backslash \; is\backslash \; a\backslash \; neighborhood\backslash \; of\backslash \; \}x\backslash right\backslash \}$, and describes the difference (possibly ∞) between the limit superior and limit inferior of the function near that point.

As nouns the difference between oscillaton and oscillation

is that oscillaton is (mathematics) a spherically-symmetric solution to an while oscillation is the act of oscillating or the state of being oscillated.
