Alfonso R. Reyes 11 Posts	I have developed an OSP application to find the Lyapunov exponents (LE) based on the trajectories of two Lorenz systems. It seems to be working. I am looking for some feedback about I perform the calculation of the LE. double separation = Math.sqrt(dxdx + dydy + dzdz); lyapunovSum += Math.log(separation / initialSeparation); Would you have done it in any other way? Code is available here: https://github.com/AlfonsoRReyes/lorenz-lyapunov. The name of the application is `Lorenz3DLyapunovParamApp.java` The running app link is https://alfonsorreyes.github.io/lorenz-lyapunov/ PS. There is a README in the repo that explains what this OSP app does. Login* to reply
