      According to a theorem of \textit{R. Wittmann} [Isr. J. Math. 59, 8-28 (1987; Zbl 0654.46034)], given a positive linear contraction \(T\) in \(L_ p\) (\(1\leq p<\infty\)), the expression \[ \alpha_ p(T)=\sup_{\| f\|\leq 1} \lim_{n\to\infty} \| T^ n f-T^{n+1}f\| \] is either 0 or bounded away from 0 by a constant \(\alpha_ p\). In this paper, the author shows that \[ \alpha_ p=\begin{cases} (1+2^{p-1})^{1/p} &\text{if \(1\leq p<2\)},\\ (1+2^{1/(p-1)})^{1-1/p} &\text{if \(2\leq p<\infty\)}. \end{cases}. \]
