Idempotent completion of certain $n$-exangulated categories

It was shown recently that an $n$-extension closed subcategory $\mathcal{A}$ of a Krull-Schmidt $(n+2)$-angulated category has a natural structure of an $n$-exangulated category. In this article, we prove that its idempotent completion $\tilde{\mathcal{A}}$ admits an $n$-exangulated structure. It is not only a generalization of the main result of Lin, but also gives an $n$-exangulated category which is neither $n$-exact nor $(n+2)$-angulated in general.
