Abstract: For a positive integer $k$, the rank-$k$ numerical range $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ of an operator $A$ acting on a Hilbert space $cH$ of dimension at least $k$ is the set of scalars $lambda$ such that $PAP=lambdaP$ for some rank $k$ orthogonal projection $P$. In this paper, a close connection between low rank perturbation of an operator $A$ and $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ is established. In particular, for $1ler<k$ it is shown that $Lambd{a}_k(A)subseteqLambd{a}_{k-r}(A+F)$ for any operator $F$ with $ank(F)ler$. In quantum computing, this result implies that a quantum channel with a $k$-dimensional error correcting code under a perturbation of rank $ler$ will still have a $(k-r)$-dimensional error correcting code. Moreover, it is shown that if $A$ is normal or if the dimension of $A$ is finite, then $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ can be obtained as the intersection of $Lambd{a}_{k-r}(A+F)$ for a collection of rank $r$ operators $F$. Examples are given to show that the result fails if $A$ is a general operator. The closure and the interior of the convex set $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ are completely determined. Analogous results are obtained for $Lambd{a}_{i}nfty(A)$ defined as the set of scalars $lambda$ such that $PAP=lambdaP$ for an infinite rank orthogonal projection $P$. It is shown that $Lambd{a}_{i}nfty(A)$ is the intersection of all $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ for $k=1,2,>\mathrm{...}$. If $A-muI$ is not compact for any $muinIC$, then the closure and the interior of $Lambd{a}_{i}nfty(A)$ coincide with those of the essential numerical range of $A$. The situation for the special case when $A-muI$ is compact for some $muinIC$ is also studied.
