Properties of RD-projective and RD-injective modules

In this paper, we first study RD-projective and RD-injective modules using, among other things, covers and envelopes. Some new characterizations for them are obtained. Then we introduce the RD-projective and RD-injective dimensions for modules and rings. The relations between the RD-homological dimensions and other homological dimensions are also investigated.
