Abstract: It is shown that the rank-$k$ numerical range of every $n$-by-$n$ complex matrix is non-empty if $nge3k-2$. The proof is based on a recent characterization of the rank-$k$ numerical range by Li and Sze, the Helly's theorem on compact convex sets, and some eigenvalue inequalities. In particular, the result implies that $Lambd{a}_2(A)$ is non-empty if $nge4$. This confirms a conjecture of Choi et al. If $3k-2>n>0$, an $n$-by-$n$ complex matrix is given for which the rank-$k$ numerical range is empty. Extension of the result to bounded linear operators acting on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space is also discussed.
