The problem that I am trying to solve is to place the vertices of a undirected, unweighted graph onto a straight line such that the arrangement has minimum bandwidth(length of the longest edge of the arrangement)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_bandwidth

Each vertex of the graph has different length(integer) which means that the solution for a minimum bandwidth problem might not be the optimal solution for the problem I am trying to solve.

I was trying to see if I can model this problem as a quadratic assignment problem or job scheduling problem but so far I have not been successful.

Does this problem fall into the category of any standard combinatorial optimization problem?Is there an approximation algorithm for this (Minimum graph bandwidth problem is NP hard)?
