Formula

a(n) = Im(-2*i*(1+Sum_{j=0..n}(binomial(n,j)*Li{-j}(i)*3^j))).

For a recurrence see the Maple program.

From Peter Bala, Nov 13 2016: (Start)

a(n) = - 6^n*E(n,1/6), where E(n,x) denotes the Euler polynomial of order n.

a(2*n) = (-1)^(n+1)*A002438(n); a(2*n+1) = (1/2)*(-1)^n*A002439(n). (End)

Maple

B := proc(n, u, k) option remember;
if n = 1 then if (u < 0) or (u >= 1) then 0 else 1 fi
else k*u*B(n-1, u, k) + k*(n-u)*B(n-1, u-1, k) fi end:
EulerianPolynomial := proc(n, k, x) local m; if x = 0 then RETURN(1) fi;
add(B(n+1, m+1/k, k)*u^m, m = 0..n); subs(u=x, %) end:
