A scalar potential of the form $\lambda_{ab} \phi_a^2 \phi_b^2$ is bounded from below if its matrix of quartic couplings $\lambda_{ab}$ is copositive -- positive on non-negative vectors. Scalar potentials of this form occur naturally for scalar dark matter stabilised by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Copositivity criteria allow to derive analytic necessary and sufficient vacuum stability conditions for the matrix $\lambda_{ab}$. We review the basic properties of copositive matrices and analytic criteria for copositivity. To illustrate these, we re-derive the vacuum stability conditions for the inert doublet model in a simple way, and derive the vacuum stability conditions for the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ complex singlet dark matter, and for the model with both a complex singlet and an inert doublet invariant under a global U(1) symmetry.
