N2 - Suppose (C,E,s) is an n-exangulated category. We show that the idempotent completion and the weak idempotent completion of C are again n-exangulated categories. Furthermore, we also show that the canonical inclusion functor of C into its (resp. weak) idempotent completion is n-exangulated and 2-universal among n-exangulated functors from (C,E,s) to (resp. weakly) idempotent complete n-exangulated categories. Furthermore, we prove that if (C,E,s) is n-exact, then so too is its (resp. weak) idempotent completion. We note that our methods of proof differ substantially from the extriangulated and (n+2)-angulated cases. However, our constructions recover the known structures in the established cases up to n-exangulated isomorphism of n-exangulated categories.
