Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $5$. Assume that $(M,g)$ is not conformally equivalent to the round sphere. If the scalar curvature $R_{g}geq0$ and the $Q$-curvature $Q_{g}geq0$ on $M$ with $Q_g(p)>0$ for some point $pinM$, we prove that the set of metrics in the conformal class of $g$ with prescribed constant positive $Q$-curvature is compact in $C^{4,alpha}$ for any $0<alpha<1$. We also give some estimates for dimension $6$ and $7$.
