COMMENTS
The companion to the Bernoulli numbers BC(0, m) = A191754(m)/A192366(m) is, just like the Bernoulli numbers T(0, m) = A164555(m)/A027642(m), see A190339 for the T(n, m), an autosequence of the second kind, i.e., its inverse binomial transform is the sequence signed.
In order to construct the companion array BC(n, m) we use the following rules: the main diagonal BC(n, n) = 0, the first upper diagonal BC(n, n+1) = T(n, n+1) and recurrence relation BC(n, m) = BC(n-1, m+1) - BC(n-1, m). The companion to the Bernoulli numbers appears in the first row of the BC(n, m) array, i.e., BC(0, m) = A191754(m)/A192366(m).
For the denominators of the companion to the Bernoulli numbers see A192366.

FORMULA
a(2*n+2)/a(2*n+1) = A000012(n)
BC(n, n) = 0, BC(n, n+1) = T(n, n+1) = T(n, n)/2 and BC(n, m) = BC(n-1, m+1) - BC(n-1, m); for the T(n, n+1) see A190339.
BC(0, m) = A191754(m)/A192366(m), i.e., the companion to the Bernoulli numbers.
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n,k)*A191754(k)/A192366(k). = (-1)^(n+1)*A191754(n)/ A192366(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(n,k)*A164555(k)/A027642(k). = (-1)^n*A164555(n)/A027642(n).
b(n) = A191754(n)/A192366(n) + A164555(n)/A027642(n) = [1, 1, 2/3, 1/3, 2/15, 1/15, 2/35, 1/35, -2/105, -1/105, ...] leads to b(2*n)/b(2*n+1) = 2 for n>1.
