Productive agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'represent' with the common suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Representer comes from the parts re- 'again' and present 'to show', the same root as present. So in math or computing a representer is something that 'shows' or 'stands for' a complex object in a simpler form.
