Abstract
We derive an explicit expression for the Fourier-Laplace transform of the two-point distribution function of a continuous time random walk (CTRW), thus generalizing the result of Montroll and Weiss for the single point distribution function . The multi-point distribution function has a structure of a convolution of the Montroll-Weiss CTRW and the aging CTRW single point distribution functions. The correlation function for the biased CTRW process is found. The random walk foundation of the multi-time-space fractional diffusion equation [Baule and Friedrich [{\em Europhysics Letters} {\bf 77} 10002 (2007)] is investigated using the unbiased CTRW in the continuum limit.
