%N Numerators of Bernoulli twin numbers C(n).
%C The Bernoulli twin numbers C(n) are defined by C(0) = 1, then C(2n) = B(2n) + B(2n-1), C(2n+1) = -B(2n+1) - B(2n), where B() are the Bernoulli numbers A027641/A027642. The definition is due to _Paul Curtz_.
%C For denominators see A051717.
%C Negatives of numerators of column 1 of table described in A051714/A051715.

%F The e.g.f. of the rationals a(n)/A051717(n) is -(1/x + x^2/2 + x/(1 - exp(x)) + dilog(exp(-x))), (with dilog(x) = polylog(2, 1-x)).
