Let S=K[x1,…,xn] be the polynomial ring in n variables over a
field K. In this paper, we compute the socle of \cb-bounded strongly stable
ideals and determine that the saturation number of strongly stable ideals and
of equigenerated \cb-bounded strongly stable ideals. We also provide explicit
formulas for the saturation number \sat(I) of Veronese type ideals I. Using
this formula, we show that \sat(I^k) is quasi-linear from the beginning and
we determine the quasi-linear function explicitly
