Is the RI method a density fit calculation ?

Hi All,
  I do have more of a question about the method of RI itself.

When considering RI calculation is it the same as a density fit calculation that can be run using pure functionals in gaussian? or is there any thing more to the RI calculation?

Thanks

Yes, density fit calculation an RI calcualtion have the same mathematical background.
In this two papers (Chem. Rev. 2010, 110, 5023–5063 and J. Mol. Struct. (Theochem) 2000, 529,  37-40) RI and density fitting are used for the same.
