COMMENTS
From S. Roman, The Umbral Calculus (see the reference in A048854), p. 101, (4.2.10) (corrected): E(n,x)= sum(sum(binomial(n,m)*((-1/2)^j)*j!*S2(n-m,j),j=0..k)*x^m,m=0..n), with S2(n,m)=A008277(n,m) and S2(n,0)=1 if n=0 else 0 (Stirling2).
From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 31 2011: (Start)
This is the Sheffer triangle (2/(exp(x)+1),x) (which would be called in the above mentioned S. Roman reference Appell for (exp(t)+1)/2) (see p. 27).
The e.g.f. for the row sums is 2/(1+exp(-x)). The row sums look like A198631(n)/A006519(n+1), n>=0.
The e.g.f. for the alternating row sums is 2/(exp(x)*(exp(x)+1)). These sums look like (-1)^n*A143074(n)/ A006519(n+1).
The e.g.f. for the a-sequence of this Sheffer array is 1. The z-sequence has e.g.f. (1-exp(x))/(2*x). This z-sequence is -1/(2*A000027(n))=-1/(2*(n+1)) (see the link under A006232 for the definition of a- and z-sequences). This leads to the recurrences given below.
The alternating power sums for the first n positive integers are given by sum((-1)^(n-j)*j^k,j=1..n) = (E(k, x=n+1)+(-1)^n*E(k, x=0))/2, k>=1, n>=1,with the row polynomials E(n, x)(see the Abramowitz-Stegun reference, p. 804, 23.1.4, and an addendum in the W. Lang link under A196837).

FORMULA
E(n, x)= sum((a(n, m)/b(n, m))*x^m, m=0..n), denominators b(n, m)= A060097(n, m).
From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 31 2011: (Start)
E.g.f. for E(n, x) is 2*exp(x*z)/(exp(z)+1).
E.g.f. of column no. m, m>=0, is 2*x^{m+1}/(m!*(exp(x)+1)).
Recurrences for E(n,m):=a(n,m)/A060097(n,m) from the Sheffer a-and z-sequence:
E(n,m)=(n/m)*E(n-1,m-1), n>=1,m>=1.
E(n,0)=-n*sum(E(n-1,j)/(2*(j+1)),j=0..n-1), n>=1, E(0,0)=1.
(see the Sheffer comments above).
(End)
E(n,m) = binomial(n,m)*sum(((-1)^j)*j!*S2(n-m,j)/2^j ,j=0..n-m), 0<=m<=n, with S2 given by A008277. From S. Roman, The umbral calculus, reference under A048854, eq. (4.2.10), p. 101, with a=1, and a misprint corrected: replace 1/k! by binomial(n,k) (also in the two preceding formulas). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 03 2011
The first (m=0) column of the rational triangle is conjectured to be E(n,0) = ((-1)^n)*A198631(n) / A006519(n+1). See also the first column shown in A209308 (different signs). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 15 2015
