Abstract
We present an algorithm taking a Kirby diagram of a closed oriented -manifold to a trisection diagram of the same manifold. This algorithm provides us with a large number of examples for trisection diagrams of closed oriented -manifolds since many Kirby-diagrammatic descriptions of closed oriented -manifolds are known. That being said, the algorithm does not necessarily provide particularly efficient trisection diagrams. We also extend this algorithm to work for the non-orientable case.
