Let \(D\) be a domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with \(D\neq \mathbb{R}^ n\). \textit{F. W. Gehring} and \textit{B. G. Osgood} proved [J. Anal. Math. 36, 50-74 (1979; Zbl 0449.30012)] that \(D\) is a uniform domain if and only if there exist a constant \(c\) and \(d\) such that \[ k_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)\leq cj_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)+ d,\quad\forall x_ 1,x_ 2\in D, \] where \(k_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)\) is the pseudo-hyperbolic metric in \(D\) and \[ j_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)={1\over 2} log\left(1+ {| x_ 1- x_ 2|\over d(x_ 1,\partial D)}\right)\left(1+ {| x_ 1- x_ 2|\over d(x_ 2,\partial D)}\right). \] The author proves the same result with the assumption that \(k_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)\leq Aj_ D(x_ 1,x_ 2)\) for some constant \(A\).
