Abstract
Exact solutions of the multidimensional Liouville equation, which are sought in the class of functional forms of the degree n equal to the coordinate space dimension, are constructed based on a special representation of the Laplace and D'Alembert equations. The corresponding Liouville equation solutions are completely described in the coordinate space dimensions d=3,4. For d>4, the general solution form and the method for obtaining algebraic equations for the coefficients of functional n-forms is presented.
