Let t be indeterminate and let \(\rho : B_n \rightarrow GL_{m}(\mathbb {Z}[t^{\pm 1}])\) be a k-local representation of the braid group \(B_n\) , where \(k=m-n+2\) . We consider two types of extensions of \(\rho \) to the singular braid monoid \(SM_n\) . The first type is called the k-local extension, which is a new concept we defined in this paper. The second type is called the \(\Phi \) -type extension, which is given by Bardakov, Chbili, and Kozlovskaya in (Mediterr. J. Math. 21: 180, 2024). In order to obtain a relation between these two types of extensions, we consider two homogeneous 2-local representations of \(B_n\) , namely \(\rho _B: B_n \rightarrow GL_{n}(\mathbb {Z}[t^{\pm 1}])\) and \(\rho _S: B_n \rightarrow GL_{n}(\mathbb {Z}[t^{\pm 1}])\) , and a homogeneous 3-local representation of \(B_n\) , namely \(\rho _F: B_n \rightarrow GL_{n+1}(\mathbb {Z}[t^{\pm 1}])\) . We study the relation between the two types of extensions to \(SM_n\) of these three representations of \(B_n\) . In fact, we prove that every homogeneous 2-local extension of \(\rho _B\) is also a \(\Phi \) -type extension for all \(n\ge 2\) ; which is not the case for \(\rho _S\) . Also, we prove that every homogeneous 3-local extension of \(\rho _F\) is a \(\Phi \) -type extension for all \(n\ge 3\) . In addition, we study, in the case \(n=2\) , the faithfulness of the complex specialization of all 2-local extensions of \(\rho _B\) and \(\rho _S\) .
