Abstract
We investigate the elasticity of atomic domains of the form \Re =A+XB[X], where X is an indeterminate, A is a local domain that is not a field, and A\subset B is a minimal extension of integral domains. We provide the exact value of the elasticity of \Re in all cases depending the position of the maximal ideals of B. Then we investigate when such domains are half-factorial domains.
