Abstract
Stability of a class of linear transformations of distribution-valued stochastic processes is studied. Two types of applications to convergence of solutions of stochastic evolution equations are given. One of them, for the case of continuous limits, simplifies the tightness problem considerably due to a recent result of Aldous.
