In this paper we obtain the asymptotic expansions of the Carathéodory and Kobayashi metrics of strictly pseudoconvex domains with C∞ smooth boundaries in ℂn. The main result of this paper can be stated as following:

Main Theorem. Let Ω be a strictly pseudoconvex domain with C∞ smooth boundary. Let FΩ(z,X) be either the Carathéodory or the Kobayashi metric of Ω. Let δ(z) be the signed distance from z to ∂Ω with δ(z) < 0 for z ∊ Ω and δ(z) ≥ 0 for z ∉ Ω. Then there exist a neighborhood U of ∂Ω, a constant C > 0, and a continuous function C(z,X):(U ∩ Ω) × ℂn -> ℝ such that

and|C(z,X)| ≤ C|X| for z ∊ U ∩ Ω and X ∊ ℂn
