a set of orbital elements built from combinations of eccentricity, inclination and node that stay nonsingular for circular and equatorial orbits.

In astrodynamics, equinoctial elements refers to a set of orbital elements built from combinations of eccentricity, inclination and node that stay nonsingular for circular and equatorial orbits. This meaning comes from Broucke (1972) in Celestial Mechanics.[1]
