Let v be a valuation of terms of type tau, assigning to each term t of type tau a value v(t) greater than or equal to 0. Let k greater than or equal to 1 be a natural number. An identity s approximate to t of type tau is called k- normal if either s = t or both s and t have value greater than or equal to k, and otherwise is called non-k-normal. A variety V of type tau is said to be k-normal if all its identities are k-normal, and non-k-normal otherwise. In the latter case, there is a unique smallest k-normal variety N-k(A) (V) to contain V , called the k-normalization of V. Inthe case k = 1, for the usual depth valuation of terms, these notions coincide with the well-known concepts of normal identity, normal variety, and normalization of a variety. I. Chajda has characterized the normalization of a variety by means of choice algebras. In this paper we generalize his results to a characterization of the k-normalization of a variety, using k-choice algebras. We also introduce the concept of a k-inflation algebra, and for the case that v is the usual depth valuation of terms, we prove that a variety V is k-normal iff it is closed under the formation of k- inflations, and that the k-normalization of V consists precisely of all homomorphic images of k-inflations of algebras in V
