Multi-layer Random Interval Packing Problem

We extend the study of random interval packing problem to the case of multiple copies of resources, which we call multi-layer interval packing problem. Exact characterization of the key performance quantities in integral transformation form are obtained. This establishes foundations for further investigation of this important problem.
