In this paper we study the dynamics of the Higgins–Selkov system
$ \begin{equation*} \dot{x} = 1-xy^\gamma, \quad\dot{y} = \alpha y(xy^{\gamma -1}-1), \end{equation*} $
where
$ \alpha $
 is a real parameter and
$ \gamma>1 $
 is an integer. We classify the phase portraits of this system for
$ \gamma = 3, 4, 5, 6, $
 in the Poincaré disc for all the values of the parameter
$ \alpha $
. Moreover, we determine in function of the parameter
$ \alpha $
 the regions of the phase space with biological meaning.
Keywords: Higgins–Selkov system, limit cycle, phase portrait, poincaré compactification.
Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 34C05, 34C07, 34C08.

Figure 1.  The phase portraits of system (1) for $ \gamma = 3\; \text{and}\; 5 $ in the Poincaré disc. The shaded areas correspond to the initial conditions of the orbits having a final finite evolution, so these are the initial conditions with biological meaning. In the phase portrait (c) the final behaviour is a stable singular point, and in the phase portrait (d) is a stable limit cycle
