A notion of pseudo-Jacobian of continuous vector fields on Riemannian manifolds is presented. It is shown that the Clarke generalized Jacobian and Mordukhovich coderivative for locally Lipschitz vector fields are pseudo-Jacobians. Moreover, monotone vector fields are characterized in terms of pseudo-Jacobians.
