We will investigate computational aspects of several problems from discrete geometry in higher dimensions. In the plane, many of them are well understood and can be solved efficiently, but as the dimension increases, most of them seem to be considerably harder to solve. In this thesis, we make progress towards explaining this phenomenon by showing computational hardness for some of these problems. To this end, we also make use of parameterized complexity theory in order to show stronger relative lower bounds than those possible with classical complexity theory only. For one of the problems, we moreover develop several approximation algorithms. In the process, we pay particular attention to the exact dependence of the running time on the dim...
