I present a rigorous analytical solution to the Yang-Mills mass gap problem on R^3 x S^1 by employing compactification, heat kernel techniques, and Ward identities. The existence of a mass gap Δ > 0 is proved, the confinement mechanism is explained, and a mass gap formula Δ = Ce^(-A/g^2) relating Δ to the gauge coupling g is derived. Furthermore, I provide a self-contained proof of the existence of a non-zero mass gap on the full four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime R^4(sec.O), without relying on compactification or dimensional reduction. Key theoretical and computational aspects are clarified and phenomenological implications explored.
