In this paper, we will introduce a new subclass of bitone sequential decision process (bsdp) and give a representation theorem for the subclass called positively/negatively bsdp, shortly, p/n bsdp, that is a necessary and sufficient condition for p/n bsdp to strongly represent a given discrete decision process (ddp).
