Abstract
In this paper, we presented different behaviors such as chaotic and hyperchaotic of the generalized van der Pol oscillator with distributed order. We introduced the parameter intervals of these behaviors by computing the Lyapunov exponents of the oscillator, which is a good test for classifying the dynamical systems' solutions. The active control approach with the Laplace transform technique was used to realize the antisynchronization and control of the proposed oscillator. Finally, numerical investigations have been carried out on the dynamics of the proposed oscillator to verify the reliability of our analytical results.
