Abstract
In [11, p. 210] A. Monteiro suggested the possibility of generalizing the results of L. Iturrioz [4] to theI n -symmetrical Heyting algebras which he namedI n -algebras. We prove that these algebras are semi-simple. We characterize simple algebras and their subalgebras. Finally, we determine the structure of theI n -algebra with a finite set of free generators and we give an answer to one of the problems posed by A. Monteiro.
