Abstract
In this paper, we present several new -congruences on the -trinomial coefficients introduced by Andrews and Baxter. As a conclusion, we obtain the following congruence: \begin{align*} \bigg(\!\!\binom{ap+b}{cp+d}\!\!\bigg)\equiv\bigg(\!\!\binom{a}{c}\!\!\bigg)\bigg(\!\!\binom{b}{d}\!\!\bigg)+\bigg(\!\!\binom{a}{c+1}\!\!\bigg)\bigg(\!\!\binom{b}{d-p}\!\!\bigg)\pmod{p}, \end{align*} where are integers subject to , and is an odd prime. Besides, we find that the method can also be used to reprove Pan's Lucas-type congruence for the -Delannoy numbers.
