arXiv:2502.03545v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We address the problem of selecting $k$ representative nodes from a network, aiming to achieve two objectives: identifying the most influential nodes and ensuring the selection proportionally reflects the network's diversity. We propose two approaches to accomplish this, analyze them theoretically, and demonstrate their effectiveness through a series of experiments.
The paper builds on ongoing research in graph theory and network analysis, which is becoming increasingly critical for understanding complex systems like AI agent networks.
This research provides foundational methods for efficiently identifying influential nodes and ensuring diversity in large-scale networks, directly impacting the design and robustness of AI systems and social networks.
The proposed approaches offer better strategies for selecting representative subsets from networks, improving the efficiency and fairness of sampling, governance, or influence operations within such systems.

Improved network analysis tools lead to more robust and fair AI systems and social platforms.
Enhanced ability to identify key influencers could lead to more targeted and effective information dissemination or resource allocation.
These methods could be adapted to optimize distributed AI agent coordination, making large-scale autonomous systems more effective and resilient.
