Krull domains are characterized as the class of PVMDs in which each \(t\)-ideal is a \(t\)-product of prime \(t\)-ideals. A generalized Krull domain (GK-domain) \(R\) is a PVMD such that \(P\neq(P^2)_t\), for each prime \(t\)-ideal \(P\) of \(R\). The aim of this paper is to extend the factorization property for ideals in Krull domains to GK-domains. The author gets then the following characterization. A PVMD \(R\) is a GK-domain if and only if its set of all divisorial ideals is \[ \begin{multlined} \{(JP_1\cdots P_r)_t,\;J\text{ is a }t\text{-invertible ideal of }R\\ \text{ and }P_1,\ldots,P_r\;(r\geq 1)\text{ are pairwise }t\text{-comaximal prime }t\text{-ideals of }R\}. \end{multlined} \] As a consequence, an integral domain \(R\) is a Krull domain if and only if \(R\) is a GK-domain such that each divisorial ideal of \(R\) is \(t\)-invertible.
