In [14] we characterized non-regular subdirectly irreducible pseudocomplemented De Morgan algcbras, while the corresponding problem for regular algebras was left open. Our attempt to solve this problem led us naturally to consider Heyting algebras with a De Morgan operation. In this paper we examine Heyting algebras with a dual lattice endomorphism (OH-algebras, for short), with special emphasis on Heyting algebras with a De Morgan operation (i.e. De Morgan-Heyting algebras). Using the notion of a regular filter introduced in [14], i t is shown that the congruences on OHalgebras are determined by regular filters. This basic result is then applied to characterize the directly indecomposables, simples, finitely subdirectly irreducibles and subdirectly irreducibles in the variety of De Morgan-Heyting algebras. As consequences, we obtain a sequence of subvarieties which are discriminator varieties, and the #esult that finite simple De Morgan-Heyting algebras are quasiprimal. It turns out that the variety of De Morgan-Heyting algebras does not have equationally definable principal congruences. The functions on OH-algebras having congruence substitution property are also characterized. These results also hold for regular pseudocomplemented De Morgan algebras.
