a function of the sum of a power series

Two possibilities
1. The function is the number of the terms included in the summation. Given an epsilon there exists an N such that for n > N the difference between the finite sum of N terms and the infinite sum of the series (convergence assumed) is less than epsilon, otherwise not guaranteed for n < N terms included in the summation.

2. That the series is convergent is not the question, the function depends on the variable, say x, in the power series, Sigma a_n x^n.

power series (function)

You give no context. I think there are two possibilities:
1) all it means is that the function is given by a power series.
"series" already includes the notion of sum. I would translate it simply as "power series" or "power series function"
2) Conceivably, it could be a function given by the sum of two or more power series.

There is no way to tell which is correct without context.
