You can use
y filter/.expression={y==0 ? nan : y}
in the options of \addplot
.
\documentclass{article}
% ---------------------------------- tikz
\usepackage{pgfplots} % to print charts
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.12}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis} [

%enlarge x limits={abs value={3}},
]
\addplot+[y filter/.expression={y==0 ? nan : y}] table [

It does not work in your MWE because you are overwriting it by also giving the option nodes near coors
to the \addplot
command. Remove the latter one (or specify format here), and it will print. I added a thinspace before the percentage sign, although it can also be recommended to load the siunitx
package and let that format and typeset the values for you.
Anyway, here's the quickfixed version:
\documentclass[border=3pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{%

colormap={blackwhite}{gray(0cm)=(1); gray(1cm)=(0.5)},

xtick={0,...,2},
ytick=\empty
}

},

I'm still not one of the cool kidz who use LuaLaTeX these days. This solution will be done in plain LaTeX, i.e. pdflatex.
I used the
tikzmath
library of TikZ, no PGFPlots needed. Also, I don't know whether you really needed the1+
in the summation, since it will only shift the graph up, but customise the following as you wish. Maybe\n = 6
.Answer to comment: This should actually work, you only need to add
use fpu=false
, as you said (see also this question).
