We consider positive solutions of the stationary Gierer-Meinhardt system ??? ?? d1△u? u+ u p vq + σ = 0 in ?, d2△v ? v + u r vs = 0 in ?, ?u ?ν = ?v ?ν = 0 on ?? where △ is the Laplace operator, ? is a bounded smooth domain in Rn, n ≥ 1 and ν is the unit outer normal to ??. Under suitable conditions on the exponents p, q, r and s, different types of a priori estimates are obtained, existence and n
