Abstract: In 2013, Huczynska, Mullen, Panario and Thomson introduced the concept of $k$-normal elements: an element $alphainmathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is $k$-normal over $mathbb{F}_q$ if the greatest common divisor of the polynomials $g_{alpha}(x)=alpha{x}^{n-1}+alph{a}^q{x}^{n-2}+ldots+alph{a}^{q^{n-2}}x+alph{a}^{q^{n-1}}$ and $x^n-1$ in $mathbb{F}_{q^n}[x]$ has degree $k$, generalizing the concept of normal elements (normal in the usual sense is $0$-normal). In this paper we discuss the existence of $r$-primitive, $k$-normal elements in $mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over $mathbb{F}_q$, where an element $alphainmathbb{F}_{q^n}^{\ast }$ is $r$-primitive if its multiplicative order is $frac{q}^n-1r$. We provide many general results about the existence of this class of elements and we work a numerical example over finite fields of characteristic $11$.
