Small perturbation of the Liouville equation under smooth initial data is considered. Asymptotic solution which is available for a long time interval is constructed by the two scale method. The Cauchy problem for the Liouville equation with a small perturbation ∂ 2 t u − ∂ 2 x u + 8 exp u = εF[u], 0 < ε ≪ 1, (0.1) u| t=0 = ψ 0 (x), ∂ t u| t=0 = ψ 1 (x), x ∈ R (0.2) is considered. The problem is...
