Each cell of an board is filled with some nonnegative integer. Two numbers in the filling are said to be adjacent if their cells share a common side. (Note that two numbers in cells that share only a corner are not adjacent). The filling is called a garden if it satisfies the following two conditions:

(i) The difference between any two adjacent numbers is either or . (ii) If a number is less than or equal to all of its adjacent numbers, then it is equal to .

Determine the number of distinct gardens in terms of and .
