The e.g.f. of A188458 is exp(x)/cosh(2*x).
The e.g.f. of this sequence is the product of the e.g.f. of A188458 and an even function (see formula section).
From Peter Bala, Mar 10 2015: (Start)
Note exp( Sum_{n >= 1} A212435(n)*x^n/n ) = exp( -x - 3*x^2/2 + 11*x^3/3 + 57*x^4/4 - ... ) = 1 - x - x^2 + 5*x^3 + 11*x^4 - 91*x^5 - 391*x^6 + + - - ... appears to give this sequence but with a different pattern of signs.
More generallly, it appears that when h is an integer and k is a nonzero integer, the expansion of exp( Sum_{n >= 1} (4*k)^n*E(n,h/(4*k))*x^n/n ) has integer coefficients, where E(n,x) denotes the n-th Euler polynomial. (End)

Note that E(x)*cosh(2*x)/exp(x) is an even function:
E(x)*cosh(2*x)/exp(x) = 1 + 2*x^2/2! - 10*x^4/4! + 212*x^6/6! - 10330*x^8/8! + 926972*x^10/10! +...+ A092635(2*n)*x^(2*n)/(2*n)! +...
which equals (G(x)+G(-x))/2 with G(x) being the e.g.f of A092635:

From Peter Bala, Feb 02 2011: (Start)
The Springer numbers were originally considered by Glaisher (see references). They are a type B analog of the zigzag numbers A000111 for the group of signed permutations.
COMBINATORIAL INTERPRETATIONS
Several combinatorial interpretations of the Springer numbers are known:
1) a(n) gives the number of Weyl chambers in the principal Springer cone of the Coxeter group B_n of symmetries of an n dimensional cube. An example can be found in [Arnold - The Calculus of snakes...].
2) Arnold found an alternative combinatorial interpretation of the Springer numbers in terms of snakes. Snakes are a generalization of alternating permutations to the group of signed permutations. A signed permutation is a sequence (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) of integers such that {|x_1|,|x_2|,...,|x_n|} = {1,2,...,n}. They form a group, the hyperoctahedral group of order 2^n*n! = A000165(n), isomorphic to the group of symmetries of the n dimensional cube. A snake of type B_n is a signed permutation (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) such that 0 < x_1  > x_2 < ... x_n. For example, (3,-4,-2,-5,1,-6) is a snake of type B_6. a(n) gives the number of snakes of type B_n [Arnold]. The cases n=2 and n=3 are given in the Example section below.
3) The Springer numbers also arise in the study of the critical points of functions; they count the topological types of odd functions with 2*n critical values [Arnold, Theorem 35].
4) Let F_n be the set of plane rooted forests satisfying the following conditions:
... each root has exactly one child, and each of the other internal nodes has exactly two (ordered) children,
... there are n nodes labeled by integers from 1 to n, but some leaves can be non-labeled (these are called empty leaves), and labels are increasing from each root down to the leaves. Then a(n) equals the cardinality of F_n. An example and proof are given in [Verges, Theorem 4.5].
OTHER APPEARANCES OF THE SPRINGER NUMBERS
1) Hoffman has given a connection between Springer numbers, snakes and the successive derivatives of the secant and tangent functions.
2) For integer N the quarter Gauss sums Q(N) are defined by ... Q(N) := Sum_{r = 0..floor(N/4)} exp(2*Pi*I*r^2/N). In the cases N = 1 (mod 4) and N = 3 (mod 4) an asymptotic series for Q(N) as N -> inf that involves the Springer numbers has been given by Evans et al., see 1.32 and 1.33.
For a sequence of polynomials related to the Springer numbers see A185417. For a table to recursively compute the Springer numbers see A185418.
(End)
Similar to the way in which the signed Euler numbers A122045 are 2^n times the value of the Euler polynomials at 1/2, the generalized signed Euler numbers A188458 can be seen as 2^n times the value of generalized Euler polynomials at 1/2. These are the Swiss-Knife polynomials A153641. A recursive definition of these polynomials is given in A081658. - Peter Luschny, Jul 19 2012
a(n) is the number of reverse-complementary updown permutations of [2n]. For example, the updown permutation 241635 is reverse-complementary because its complement is 536142, which is the same as its reverse, and a(2)=3 counts 1324, 2413, 3412. - David Callan, Nov 29 2012
a(n) = |2^n G(n,1/2;-1)|, a specialization of the Appell sequence of polynomials umbrally formed by G(n,x;t) = (G(.,0;t) + x)^n from the Grassmann polynomials G(n,0;t) of A046802 enumerating the cells of the positive Grassmannians. - Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2015
Named "Springer numbers" after the Dutch mathematician Tonny Albert Springer (1926-2011). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 13 2021

The bracketed numbers show where this decimal expansion differs from that of 2*A181048. The numbers 1, 1, -3, -11, 57, 361 must be added to the bracketed numbers to give the correct decimal expansion to 32 digits: 2*( (log(1 + sqrt(2)) + Pi/2)/(2*sqrt(2)) ) = 1.7339(4)5974(6)7982(2)075(14)79(903)27(765)7.... - _Peter Bala_, Sep 23 2016

Equals (A093954 + A091648/sqrt(2))/2.
Integral_{x = 0..1} 1/(1+x^4) = Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k/(4*k+1) = (log(1+sqrt(2)) + Pi/2)/(2*sqrt(2)).
1 - 1/5 + 1/9 - 1/13 + 1/17 - ... = (Pi*sqrt(2))/8 + (sqrt(2)*log(1 + sqrt(2)))/4 = (Pi + 2*log(1 + sqrt(2)))/(4 sqrt(2)). The first two are the formulas as given in Spiegel et al., the third is how Mathematica rewrites the infinite sum. - Alonso del Arte, Aug 11 2011
Let N be a positive integer divisible by 4. We have the asymptotic expansion 2*( (log(1 + sqrt(2)) + Pi/2)/(2*sqrt(2)) - Sum_{k = 0..N/4 - 1} (-1)^k/(4*k + 1) ) ~ 1/N + 1/N^2 - 3/N^3 - 11/N^4 + 57/N^5 + 361/N^6 - ..., where the sequence of coefficients [1, 1, -3, -11, 57, 361, ...] is A188458. This follows from Borwein et al., Lemma 2 with f(x) = 1/x and then set x = N/4 and h = 1/4. An example is given below. Cf. A181049. - Peter Bala, Sep 23 2016
Equals Sum_{n >= 0} 2^(n-1)*n!/(Product_{k = 0..n} 4*k + 1) = Sum_{n >= 0} 2^(n-1)*n!/A007696(n+1) (apply Euler's series transformation to Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k/(4*k + 1)). - Peter Bala, Dec 01 2021
From Peter Bala, Oct 23 2023: (Start)
The slowly converging series representation Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/(4*n + 1) for the constant can be accelerated to give the following faster converging series:
1/2 + 2*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)(4*n + 5));
7/10 + 8*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)(4*n + 5)*(4*n + 9));
71/90 + 48*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)(4*n + 5)*(4*n + 9)*(4*n + 13));
971/1170 + 384*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)(4*n + 5)*(4*n + 9)*(4*n + 13)*(4*n + 17)).
These results may be easily verified by taking the partial fraction expansions of the summands. The general result appears to be that for r >= 0, the constant equals
C(r) + (2^r)*r!*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 5)*...*(4*n + 4*r + 1)), where C(r) is the rational number Sum_{k = 0..r-1} 2^(k-1)*k!/(1*5*9*...*(4*k + 1)). [added 19 Feb 2024: the general result can be proved by the WZ method as described in Wilf.]
In the limit as r -> oo we find that the constant equals Sum_{k >= 0} 2^(k-1)*k!/(Product_{i = 0..k} 4*i + 1) as noted above. (End)
