The sequence to be transformed is A176328/A176591, its inverse binomial transform begins: 1, -2, 25/6, -9, 599/30, -45, 4285/42, -231, 15599/30, -1161, 169625/66, -5643, 33578309/2730, ...
Its first bisection is constituted of fractional numbers, with denominators A176591, whereas this bisection is constituted of integers only.
FORMULA
Conjecture: G.f. -x*(2-11*x+21*x^2-2*x^3+8*x^4)/((1-x)^2*(1-4*x)^2). [Bruno Berselli, Sep 03 2013]
Conjecture: a(n) = (8+4^n)*(1-2*n)/8 for n>1, a(1)=-2. [Bruno Berselli, Sep 03 2013]
