  In this work, we present a novel multilevel Monte Carlo method for kinetic simulation of stochastic reaction networks characterized by fast and slow reaction channels. To produce efficient simulations, we automatically classify the reaction channels into fast and slow classes. To this end, we first introduce the concept of the level of activity of a reaction channel, which depends on the current state of the system.

  In this work, we present an extension to the context of Stochastic Reaction Networks (SRNs) of the forward-reverse representation introduced in "Simulation of forward-reverse stochastic representations for conditional diffusions", a 2014 paper by Bayer and Schoenmakers. We apply this stochastic representation in the computation of efficient approximations of expected values of functionals of SNR bridges, i.e., SRNs conditioned to its values in the extremes of given time-intervals.
