Abstract: We propose a variational splitting technique for the generalized-alpha method to solve hyperbolic partial differential equations. We use tensor-product meshes to develop the splitting method, which has a computational cost that grows linearly with respect to the total number of degrees of freedom for multi-dimensional problems. We consider standard C0 finite elements as well as smoother B-splines in isogeometric analysis for the spatial discretization. We also study the spectrum of the amplification matrix to establish the unconditional stability of the method. We then show that the stability behavior affects the overall behavior of the integrator on the entire interval and not only at the limits 0 and infty. We use various examples to demonstrate the performance of the method and the optimal approximation accuracy. For the numerical tests, we compute the L2 and H1 norms to show the optimal convergence of the discrete method in space and second-order accuracy in time.
