Main diagonal: A212196(n)/A181131(n). See A190339(n).
First upper diagonal: A229023(n)/A181131(n).
The inverse binomial transform of f(n) is g(n). Reciprocally, the inverse binomial transform of g(n) is f(n) with -1 instead of f(1)=1, i.e., f(n) signed.
Sum of the antidiagonals: 1,1,0,-1,0,3,0,-17,... = (-1)^n*A036968(n) = -A226158(n+1).
Following A211163(n+2), f(n) is the coefficients of a polynomial in Pi^n.
Bernoulli numbers, twice, and Genocchi numbers, twice, are linked to Pi.
f(n) - g(n) = -A226158(n).
Also the numerators of the centralized Bernoulli polynomials 2^n*Bernoulli(n, x/2+1/2) evaluated at x=1. The denominators are A141459. - Peter Luschny, Nov 22 2015
(-1)^n*a(n) = 2^n*numerator(A027641(n)/A027642(n)) (that is the present sequence with a(1) = -1 instead of +1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 05 2017
