Abstract: We present a variationally separable splitting technique for the generalized-$alpha$ method for solving parabolic partial differential equations. We develop a technique for a tensor-product mesh which results in a solver with a linear cost with respect to the total number of degrees of freedom in the system for multi-dimensional problems. We consider finite elements and isogeometric analysis for the spatial discretization. The overall method maintains user-controlled high-frequency dissipation while minimizing unwanted low-frequency dissipation. The method has second-order accuracy in time and optimal rates ($h^{p+1}$ in $L^2$ norm and $h^p$ in $L^2$ norm of $ablau$) in space. We present the spectrum analysis on the amplification matrix to establish that the method is unconditionally stable. Various numerical examples illustrate the performance of the overall methodology and show the optimal approximation accuracy.
