Abstract
Existing literature shows that the vacuum stability of a general scalar potential is equivalent to the strict copositivity of its corresponding coupling tensor. In order to judge the copositivity of a coupling tensor, we provide two criteria of a strict copositive tensor, and show their correctness and effectiveness via two practical examples by checking the vacuum stability of a general scalar potential for \(\mathbb{Z}_{3}\) scalar dark matter.
