The analogous limit of f(1,n)/f(1,n+1) is the golden ratio (A001622).
Differs from A248749 only in the first digit. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 23 2014
FORMULA
Equals (sqrt(2+sqrt(5))-1)/2. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 19 2014

limit = 0.52908551363574612516099052379022521061936504...
Let q(x,n) = f(x,n)/f(x,n+1) and c = 1-i.
n f(x,n) Re(q(c,n)) Im(q(c,n))
1 1 1/2 1/2
2 x 3/5 1/5
3 1 + x^2 1/2 1/4
4 2*x + x^3 8/15 4/15
5 1 + 3*x^2 + x^4 69/130 33/130
Re(q(1-i,11)) = 5021/9490 = 0.5290832...
Im(q(1-i,11)) = 4879/18980 = 0.257060...
