A term used for a group of results dealing with the sequence $|T^{n+1} - T^n|$, where $T$ is a positive contraction. Usually, either this sequence converges to zero (uniformly or strongly), or for all $n$ its norm is 2. An example is the following result. Let $T$ be a positive contraction on $L_p$, where $1 \le p \le \infty$. Then either $\| | T^{n+1} - T^n | \| = 2$ for all $n$ or $\| | T^{n+1} - T^n | \| \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$.
