Is there a name for the property, such as for f-means, that the result lies in the closed interval between the minimum and maximum of the input set?

All the possible f-means (a broad generalization of the arithmetic mean) have the property that the result is in the closed interval between min and max of the input set. I've found this property mentioned in several places, but it is never given a name. Is there a name for this?

I'd consider "convexity" (since the result is a convex combination of the inputs), but that word already has a different meaning when it comes to functions.
