The determination of co-positive quadratic forms (or co-positive matrices) is an NP-hard problem, so the calculation of zero points of co-positive quadratic forms is also NP-hard. However, there exists a more efficient algorithm for computing zero points of symmetric co-positive quadratic forms. By analogy, this paper studied the more extensive symmetric cubic forms. The main work was to establish an algorithm for calculating zero points of symmetric co-positive cubic forms. The time complexity of this algorithm was O(n) with respect to the number of variables n.
