For integer n,m≥1n, m \geq 1, let A(n,m)A(n, m) denote the number of functions f:{1,2,…,n}→{1,2,…,m}f:\{1,2, \ldots, n\} \rightarrow\{1,2, \ldots, m\} such that f(j)−f(i)≤j−if(j)-f(i) \leq j-i for all 1≤i<j≤n1 \leq i<j \leq n, and let B(n,m)B(n, m) denote the number of functions g:{0,1,…,2n+m}→{0,1,…,m}g:\{0,1, \ldots, 2 n+m\} \rightarrow\{0,1, \ldots, m\} such that g(0)=0,g(2n+m)=mg(0)=0, g(2 n+m)=m, and ∣g(i)−g(i−1)∣=1|g(i)-g(i-1)|=1 for all 1≤i≤2n+m1 \leq i \leq 2 n+m. Prove that A(n,m)=B(n,m)A(n, m)=B(n, m).
