  In this work we present a method to control chimera states through linear
augmentation. Using an ensemble of globally coupled oscillators, we demonstrate
that control over the spatial location of the incoherent or coherent regions of
a chimera state in a network can be achieved. This is characterized by
exploring their basins of attraction. We also verify the stability of different
states present in the coupled systems before and after linear augmentation by
calculating the transverse Lyapunov exponent and Master stability function. We
observe that the control through this technique is independent of the coupling
mechanisms and also on the initial conditions chosen for the creation of
chimera states.
