a(n) is numerator of (A164555(n)/A027642(n) + 1/(n+1)).
1/(n+1) and Bernoulli(n,1) are autosequences in the sense that they remain the same (up to sign) under inverse binomial transform. This feature is kept for their sum, a(n)/A174342(n) = 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/8, 7/90, 1/10, ...
Similar autosequences are also A000045, A001045, A113405, A000975 preceded by two zeros, and A140096.
Conjecture: the numerator of (A164555(n)/(n+1) + A027642(n)/(n+1)^2) is a(n) and the denominator of this fraction is equal to 1 if and only if n+1 is prime or 1. Cf. A309132. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 09 2019
The "if" part of the conjecture is true: see the theorems in A309132 and A326690. The values of the numerator when n+1 is prime are A327033. - Jonathan Sondow, Aug 15 2019
