# Feature: Vern7 (Verner 7th Order) Method
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED (2025-10-24)
**Implementation Summary**:
- ✅ Core Vern7 struct with 10-stage explicit RK tableau (not 9 as initially planned)
- ✅ Full Butcher tableau extracted from Julia OrdinaryDiffEq.jl source
- ✅ 7th order step() method with 6th order error estimate
- ✅ Polynomial interpolation using main 10 stages (partial implementation)
- ✅ Comprehensive test suite: exponential decay, harmonic oscillator, 7th order convergence
- ✅ Exported in prelude and module system
- ⚠️ Note: Full 7th order interpolation requires lazy computation of 6 extra stages (k11-k16) - currently uses simplified interpolation with main stages only
**Key Details**:
- Actual implementation uses 10 stages (not 9 as documented), following Julia's Vern7 implementation
- No FSAL property (unlike initial assumption in this document)
- Interpolation: Partial implementation using 7 of 10 main stages; full implementation needs 6 additional lazy-computed stages
## Overview
Verner's 7th order method is a high-efficiency explicit Runge-Kutta method designed by Jim Verner. It provides excellent performance for high-accuracy non-stiff problems and is one of the most efficient methods for tolerances in the range 1e-6 to 1e-12.
