Given a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $$(R,{\mathfrak {m}},k)$$ , we prove that it is almost Gorenstein if and only $${\mathfrak {m}}$$ canonical module of the {m}}:{\mathfrak . Then, generalize this result by introducing notions ideal gAGL proving R an We use fact to characterize when Gorenstein, provided has minimal multiplicity. This generalization proved Chau, Goto, Kumashiro, M...
