etc.
a(n) is an autosequence (its inverse binomial transform is the signed sequence) of the first kind (its main diagonal is A000004=0's and the first two upper diagonal are the same). Like A000045(n).
Note that e(n) = A000111(n+1) - A000111(n) = 0, 0, 1, 3, 11, 45, 211,... is not in the OEIS. a(2n) = (-1)*(n+1)*e(2n).
Antidiagonals upon A000004:

Row sum: 1, 1, -11, -17, 211, 439,... .
b(n) = a(n) mod 9 = 0 followed by period 6: repeat 1, 1, 4, 7, 7, 4 is also an autosequence of the first kind.
EXAMPLE
a(0)=1-1=0, a(1)=-(-1)=1, a(2)=2-1=1, a(3)=-5, a(4)=-(16-5)=-11.
