(See the array in A163982(n) and the comments/examples in A090158 and A090145.)

The absolute values of the first column are A000111(n).

The first column can be found via the Akiyama-Tanigawa algorithm. See the chapter on the Seidel triangle in Wikipedia's Bernoulli Number.

Formula

a(n) = -A163982(n) - 1.

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A109449(n,k)*floor((n-k+1)/2). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 27 2013

E.g.f.: 1/cosh(x) + tanh(x) + 1 - exp(x). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 10 2014

Example

a(0) =   1;
a(1) =   1 -   1 = 0;
a(2) =  -1 -   2 +   1 = -2;
a(3) =   2 -   3 -   3 +   1 = -3;
a(4) =   5 +   8 -   6 -   4 +  1 = 4;
a(5) = -16 +  25 +  20 -  10 -  5 +  1 = 15;
a(6) = -61 -  96 +  75 +  40 - 15 -  6 + 1 = -62;
a(7) = 272 - 427 - 336 + 175 + 70 - 21 - 7 + 1 = -273; - Philippe Deléham, Oct 27 2013
G.f. = 1 - 2*x^2 - 3*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 15*x^5 - 62*x^6 - 273*x^7 + ...
