Abstract
We introduce a class of new centrality indices in networks which take into account a parameter of a node, direct and indirect (with fixed length of the path) connections of nodes, and a group influence of nodes to a node. Total influence is evaluated as a linear combination of its components, however, other rules can be used as well.
Keywords: network centrality indices, direct and indirect influence, group influence in networks
