In this paper, we are concerned with peak solutions to the following one-dimensional Gierer–Meinhardt system with saturation: {0=ϵ 2 A -A+A 2 H(1+κA 2 )+σ,A>0,x(-1,1),0=DH -H+A 2 ,H>0,x(-1,1),A ' (±1)=H ' (±1)=0, where ϵ,D>0, κ0, σ0. The saturation effect of the activator is given by the parameter κ. We will give a sufficient condition of κ for which point-condensation phenomena emerge. More precisely, for fixed D>0, we will show that the Gierer–Meinhardt system admits a peak solution when ε is sufficiently small under the assumption: κ depends on ε, namely, κ=κ(ϵ), and there exists a limit lim ϵ0 κϵ -2 =κ 0 for certain κ 0 [0,).
