Equivalently, denominators of Bernoulli twin numbers C(n) (cf. A051716).
The Bernoulli twin numbers C(n) are defined by C(0) = 1, then C(2n) = B(2n) + B(2n-1), C(2n+1) = -B(2n+1) - B(2n), where B() are the Bernoulli numbers A027641/A027642. The definition is due to Paul Curtz.

Formula

Numerators of differences of the sequence of rational numbers 0 followed by A164555/A027642. - Paul Curtz, Jan 29 2017
The e.g.f. of the rationals a(n)/A051717(n) is -(1/x + x^2/2 + x/(1 - exp(x)) + dilog(exp(-x))), (with dilog(x) = polylog(2, 1-x)). From integrating the e.g.f. of the z-sequence (exp(x) - (1+x))/(exp(x) -1)^2 for the Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind (A290317 / A290318). - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 07 2017

The origin of the sequence are polynomials on pages 61 and 69 of the CCSA paper. The first few of the polynomials have been noted in the 1992 Gazette paper.
We construct Bernoulli twin numbers polynomials C(n,x) = Sum_{j=1..n} binomial(n-1,j-1)*B(j,x) where B(n,x) are the Bernoulli polynomials of A048998 and A048999 and where binomial(.,.) is the Pascal triangle A007318: C(0,x)=B(0,x); C(1,x)=B(1,x); C(2,x)=B(2,x)+B(1,x); C(3,x)=B(3,x)+2B(2,x)+B(1,x).
The triangle of coefficients [x^m] C(n,x) for rows n=0,1,2,.. and decreasing power m=n,...,0 along each row starts
1;
1, -1/2;
1, 0, -1/3;
1, 1/2, -1/2, -1/6;
The rightmost fraction in row n, that is, the absolute term C(n,0), is the Bernoulli twin number C(n) of A129826(n), i.e., C(n) = A129826(n)/(n+1)!.
If rows are multiplied by (n+1)!, the triangle becomes
1;
2, -1;
6, 0, -2;
24, 12, -12, -4;
120, 120, -60, -60, -4;
The sequence a(n) gives the row sums of this triangle. The sums of antidiagonals are 1, 2, 5, 24, 130, 828, 6056.... The first column of the inverse of the triangle is 1, 2, 3, 3, 0, (0 continued).
