We prove several Tauberian theorems for regularizing transforms of vector-valued distributions. The regularizing transform of f is given by the integral transform M-phi(f)(x, y) = (f * phi(y))(x), (x, y) is an element of R-n x R+, with kernel phi(y) (t) = y(-n)phi(t/y). We apply our results to the analysis of asymptotic stability for a class of Cauchy problems, Tauberian theorems for the Laplace transform, the comparison of quasiasymptotics in distribution spaces, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the trace of a distribution on {x(0)} x R-m. In addition, we present a new proof of Littlewood's Tauberian theorem.
