Let $F$ be a finitely generated free group. We present an algorithm such
that, given a subgroup $H\leqslant F$, decides whether $H$ is the fixed
subgroup of some family of automorphisms, or family of endomorphisms of $F$
and, in the affirmative case, finds such a family. The algorithm combines both
combinatorial and geometric methods.
