The authors study the boundary behavior between the Carathéodory metric and the Kobayashi-Royden metric in a strongly pseudoconvex domain with \(C^2\)-boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). Let \(\Omega\) be a strongly pseudoconvex bounded domain with \(C^2\)-boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). Let \(F_C^\Omega\) be the Caratheodory metric and \(F_K^\Omega\) the Kobayashi-Royden metric in \(\Omega\). Then the following estimate is the main theorem in this paper: For given \(\varepsilon>0\), there is a compact subset \(K(\varepsilon)\) depending only on \(\varepsilon\) such that \[ F_K^\Omega (z,\xi) \leq(1+ \varepsilon) F_C^\Omega (z,\xi) \] for all \(z\in\Omega \setminus K(\varepsilon)\) and \(\xi\in \mathbb{C}^n\). Moreover, the author gives a convex bounded domain \(\Omega(p)\) with \(C^2\)-boundary in \(\mathbb{C}^2\) such that the above estimate holds but \(\Omega(p)\) is not strongly pseudoconvex. This example shows that the converse of the main theorem does not hold.
