Another possibility is to consider the associated averaged chain $(X_t^{mathrm{ave}})_{t = 0}^{infty}$, whose distribution at time $t$ is obtained by replacing $P$ by $A_t:=(P^t+P^{t+1})/2$. \u0000A sequence of Markov chains is said to exhibit (total-variation) cutoff if the convergence to stationarity in total-variation distance is abrupt. Let $(X_t^{(n)})_{t = 0 }^{infty}$ be a sequence of irreducible reversible discrete time Markov chains. In this work we prove that the sequence of associated continuous-time chains exhibits total-variation cutoff around time $t_n$ iff the sequence of the associated averaged chains exhibits total-variation cutoff around time $t_n$. Moreover, we show that the width of the cutoff window for the sequence of associated averaged chains is at most that of the sequence of associated continuous-time chains.
