Abstract: This paper examines the complexity of several geometric problems due to unbounded dimension. The problems considered are: (i) minimum cover of points by unit cubes, (ii) minimum cover of points by unit balls, and (iii) minimum number of lines to hit a set of balls. Each of these problems is proven not to have a polynomial approximation scheme unless P = NP. Specific lower bounds on the error ratios attainable in polynomial time are given, assuming P<F NaN> 6= NP. In particular, it is shown that ... (Update)
