This paper studies the integrability of the Duffing-van der Pol equation \[ X_{tt} + (\alpha + \beta X^2) X_t - g X + X^3 = 0.\tag{1} \] The author tries to find the exact solution of this equation by a series of transformations. However, I cannot find the conclusion of this paper, and there are many mistakes in the calculation and notations in the paper. For example, from (2.5)--(2.12) (equation number in the paper), the author introduces a transformation \(X(t) = \sqrt{V(t)}\), which gives \[ V V_{tt} - \frac{1}{2} V_t^2 + \alpha V V_t + \beta V^2 V_t -2 g V^2 + 2 V^3 = 0.\tag{2} \] In (2.20), the author claims a solution in form \[ V(t) = \frac{g}{1 + \exp(-\frac{3}{2} \beta g(t-t_0))}. \] However, this is NOT a solution of (2)!
