We study a parameter-dependent single-loop positive-feedback system in the nonnegative orthant of $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\in\mathbb{N}$, that arises in the analysis of the blow-up behavior of large radial solutions of polyharmonic PDEs with power nonlinearities. We describe the global dynamics of the system for arbitrary $n$ and prove that, in every dimension $n\<=4$, all forward-bounded solutions converge to one of two equilibria (one stable, the other unstable). In Part 2 of the paper, we will establish the existence of nontrivial periodic orbits in every dimension $n \>= 12$.
Keywords: Poincaré-Bendixson theory, monotone flows, Positive-feedback systems, Ljapunov functions..
