  Yes! Very much so.
  A chimera state refers to the coexistence of a coherent-incoherent dynamical
evolution of identically coupled oscillators. We investigate the impact of
multiplexing of a lyer having repulsively coupled oscillators on occurrence of
chimeras in the layer having attractively coupled identical oscillators. We
report that there exists an enhancement in the appearance of chimera state in
one layer of multiplex network in the presence of repulsive coupling in the
other layer. Furthermore, we show that a small amount of inhibition or
repulsive coupling in one layer is sufficient to yield chimera state in another
layer by destroying its synchronized behavior. These results can be used to get
insight into dynamical behaviors of those systems where both attractive and
repulsive coupling exist among their constituents.
