Let D be an integral domain. Then D is an almost valuation (AV-)domain if for a, b∈ D∖ \0\ there exists a natural number n with an| bn or bn| an. AV-domains are closely related to valuation domains, for example, D is an AV-domain if and only if the integral closure D is a valuation domain and D⊆ D is a root extension. In this note we explore various generalizations of DVRs (which we might call almost DVRs) such as Noetherian AV-domains, AV-domains with D a DVR, and quasilocal and local API-domains (i.e., for \aα\α∈ Λ⊆ D, there exists an n with (\aαn\α∈ Λ) principal). The structure of complete local AV-domains and API-domains is determined.
