%N Second bisection of the inverse binomial transform of the rational sequence with e.g.f. (x/2)*(exp(-x)+1)/(exp(x)-1).
%C 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, ...
%C Its first bisection is constituted of fractional numbers, with denominators A176591, whereas this bisection is constituted of integers only.
%C It appears that a(1) = -2 and a(n) = -1 * A005408(n-1) * A087289(n-2) for n>1.
%F 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]
%F Conjecture: a(n) = (8+4^n)*(1-2*n)/8 for n>1, a(1)=-2. [_Bruno Berselli_, Sep 03 2013]
