We study five dimensional non critical type 0 string theory and its corresp
ondence to non supersymmetric Yang Mills theory in four dimensions. We solv
e the equations of motion of the low energy effective action and identify a
class of solutions that translates into a confining behavior in the IR reg
ion of the dual gauge theories. In particular we identify a setup which is
dual to pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. Possible flows of the solutions to th
e UV region are discussed. The validity of the solutions and potential sub-
leading string corrections are also discussed.
