For equatorial orbits about an oblate body, we show that the Lie series for the elliptic elementse,f,l and $$\varpi$$ diverge when the oblateness exceeds a critical multiple of the transformed eccentricity constant. The use of similar truncated series expansions for such elliptic elements by Brouwer accounts for the first-order errors at low eccentricity in his derived coordinates for an artificial satellite.
