Abstract
We discuss a recently proposed approach termed Q-BOR-FDTD method and develop its main equations in a clearer and more rigorous way. We show that it is unsuitable for the calculation of the eigenfunctions in the case of degenerate states and propose an improvement to overcome such limitation.
