    Let \(K, c_1, c_2\) be real numbers. The authors consider the Liouville equation \(\Delta v+2 Ke^v=0\) in the upper half-plane \(\Omega=\{(s, t)\in \mathbb{R}^2: t>0 \}\) with the finite energy condition \({\int_{\Omega} e^v <\infty}\) and \({v\in\;C^2(\overline{\Omega}\setminus\{0\})}\). The solutions to the following Neumann problem are investigated: \(\frac{\partial v}{\partial t}=c_1e^{v/2}\), \(s>0\) and \(\frac{\partial v}{\partial t}=c_2e^{v/2}\), \(s<0\). As a result, the authors classify the conformal Riemannian metrics of constant curvature and finite area on a half-plane that have a finite number of boundary singularities, not assumed a priori to be conical, and constant geodesic curvature along each boundary arc. The case of the upper half-disk \(\Omega={D_{\varepsilon}^+\subset \mathbb{R}_+^2}\) of center \(0\) and radius \({\varepsilon}\) is also discussed.
