N2 - We prove that two n-by-n matrices A and B have their rank-k numerical ranges Λk(A) and Λk(B) equal to each other for all k,1≤k≤⌊n/2⌋+1, if and only if their Kippenhahn polynomials pA(x,y,z)≡det(xReA+yImA+zIn) and pB(x,y,z)≡det(xReB+yImB+zIn) coincide. The main tools for the proof are the Li-Sze characterization of higher-rank numerical ranges, Weyl's perturbation theorem for eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices and Bézout's theorem for the number of common zeros for two homogeneous polynomials.
