The MWE output has an incredible big zoom, so I would like to resize the plot but not using scale but another commands, like enlarge limits. However, all the results are in vain; I can not reproduce the visual appearance of what I want.
Thanks!!

Are you sure you want to plot the function in this way? If you use polar coordinates in the x-y plane,x=r cos(phi)andy=r sin(phi), you see that the function does not depend onrbut only on the angle. This explains the behavior at 0, where the function is not well-defined. And otherwise the function depends only on one variable, so I am wondering if you would be better off if you plotted a function of one variable only, or at least use a different parametrization.

@marmot please see the edit. The function has a "normal" behaviour when changingdomain y=-1.2:1todomain y=-1:1. If you want to use change of variables go ahead :). Do you know how to "enlarge" the axis without rescaling the entire function in order to make it a little more bigger?

Normally you can setwidth=15cmor something like this. Of course, withaxis equal image,one needs to be a bit careful. What I meant to say is that the function is not well-defined atx=y=0and otherwise only a function that depends on one variable, not on two. You see this actually rather well in the upper plot.

Not an answer to the (LaTeX part of the) question. However, if you use polar coordinates in the x-y plane, x=r cos(phi) and y=r sin(phi), you see that the function does not depend on r but only on the angle. So away from the origin x=y=0 all the information is already in a one-dimensional plot.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[declare function={fan(t)=-(sin(2*t)/(-3 + cos(2*t)));}]
begin{axis}
addplot[domain=0:360,smooth,samples=101] {fan(x)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

And this yields a 3d smooth plot.

Not an answer to the (LaTeX part of the) question. However, if you use polar coordinates in the x-y plane, x=r cos(phi) and y=r sin(phi), you see that the function does not depend on r but only on the angle. So away from the origin x=y=0 all the information is already in a one-dimensional plot.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[declare function={fan(t)=-(sin(2*t)/(-3 + cos(2*t)));}]
begin{axis}
addplot[domain=0:360,smooth,samples=101] {fan(x)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

And this yields a 3d smooth plot.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}
pgfplotsset{soldot/.style={color=black,only marks,mark=*}}
pgfplotsset{holdot/.style={color=red,fill=white,very thick,only marks,mark=*}}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[declare function={f(x,y)=(x*y)/(x*x+2*y*y);
fan(t)=-(sin(2*t)/(-3 + cos(2*t)));}]
begin{axis} [width=18cm,
axis on top,
axis equal image,
axis lines=center,
xlabel=$x$,
ylabel=$y$,
zlabel=$z$,
zmin=-1,
zmax=1,
ztick={-1,0,0.33,1},
zticklabels={$-1$,$0$,$1/3$,$1$},
ticklabel style={font=tiny},
legend pos=outer north east,
legend style={cells={align=left}},
legend cell align={left},
view={-135}{25},
data cs=polar,
]
addplot3[surf,mesh/ordering=y varies,shader=interp,domain=0:360,
domain y=0:1,samples=61, samples y=21,
z buffer=sort] { fan(x)};
addlegendentry{{$f(x,y)$}}
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Are you sure you want to plot the function in this way? If you use polar coordinates in the x-y plane,
x=r cos(phi)andy=r sin(phi), you see that the function does not depend onrbut only on the angle. This explains the behavior at 0, where the function is not well-defined. And otherwise the function depends only on one variable, so I am wondering if you would be better off if you plotted a function of one variable only, or at least use a different parametrization.– marmot

@marmot please see the edit. The function has a "normal" behaviour when changing
domain y=-1.2:1todomain y=-1:1. If you want to use change of variables go ahead :). Do you know how to "enlarge" the axis without rescaling the entire function in order to make it a little more bigger?– manooooh

Normally you can set
width=15cmor something like this. Of course, withaxis equal image,one needs to be a bit careful. What I meant to say is that the function is not well-defined atx=y=0and otherwise only a function that depends on one variable, not on two. You see this actually rather well in the upper plot.– marmot

I need to sleep so I will just post some 1d plot.

Please do not alter the question that essentially by editing. It is much better to ask a new question.
