The bandwidth problem is finding a linear layout of vertices in a graph in such a way that minimizes the maximum distance between two vertices joined by an edge. The bandwidth problem is one of the classic
${\mathcal NP}$
-complete problems. Especially, the problem is
${\mathcal NP}$
-complete even for trees. The bandwidth problem can be solved in polynomial time for a few graph classes. Efficient algorithms for computing the bandwidth for three graph classes are presented. The first one is a linear time algorithm for a threshold graph, and the second one is a linear time algorithm for a chain graph. The last algorithm solves the bandwidth problem for a bipartite permutation graph in
O
(
