Controlling chaos is fundamental in many applications, and for this reason, many techniques have been proposed to address this problem. Here, we propose a strategy based on an optimal placement of the sensor and actuator providing global observability of the state space and global controllability to any desired state. The first of these two conditions enables the derivation of a model of the system by using a global modeling technique. In turn, this permits the use of feedback linearization for designing the control law based on the equations of the obtained model and providing a zero-flat system. The procedure is applied to three case studies, including two piecewise linear circuits, namely, the Carroll circuit and the Chua circuit whose governing equations are approximated by a continuous global model. The sensitivity of the procedure to the time constant of the dynamics is also discussed.
