Let (g, [•, •], δ g ) be a fixed Lie bialgebra, E be a vector space containing g as a subspace and V be a complement of g in E. A natural problem is that how to classify all Lie bialgebraic structures on E such that (g, [•, •], δ g ) is a Lie sub-bialgebra up to an isomorphism of Lie bialgebras whose restriction on g is the identity map. This problem is called the extending structures problem. In this paper, we introduce a general co-product on E, called the unified co-product of (g, δ g ) by V . With this unified co-product and the unified product of (g, [•, •]) by V developed in [1], the unified bi-product of (g, [•, •], δ g ) by V is introduced. Moreover, we show that any E in the extending structures problem is isomorphic to a unified bi-product of (g, [•, •], δ g ) by V . Then an object HBI 2 g (V, g) is constructed to classify all E in the extending structures problem. Moreover, several special unified bi-products are also introduced. In particular, the unified bi-products when dimV = 1 are investigated in detail.
