Any other approach

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(dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz);
lyapunovSum += Math.log(separation / initialSeparation);
 
Would you have done it in any other way?
 
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.
