A net of parametrized curves on a surface such that the line element of the surface has the form $$ ds^2 = (U+V)(du^2 + dv^2) $$ where $U = U(u)$, $V = V(v)$. In every rectangle formed by two pairs of curves of the different families, the two geodesic diagonals have the same length. Surfaces that carry a Liouville net are Liouville surfaces. For example, central surfaces of the second order are Liouville surfaces. The Liouville net was introduced by J. Liouville in 1846 (see [1], Prop. 3).
