Centipede responds well to a little moisture management in the dry season and the use of neonicitinoids... you can apply them about 3 feet away from the flower beds because the grass can actually distribute its own water.
Remember not to let it consume the topsoil, use regular milorganite applications and spread and beat in a little potting soil or cheap peat before snowfall. Cheap peat is easier, you just sprinkle it on before your second to last mowing and let the mulching work it in.
Sharpening the mower blade and running it at a lower speed, just like with StAugustinegrass, works well on Centipedegrass. So does reel mowing with units like https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Inch-StaySharp-Reel-Mower/dp/B01N7K4BNX/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1496661112&sr=8-33&keywords=fiskars in 14 inch swaths if you're feeling athletic.
Sharp clean cut at appropriate height is always the first step in lawn care and sharp blades do better clipping puree
Drive XLR8 will take care of the crabgrass without killing the grass, but it is pricey.

I would add a non-ionic surfactant as well.
Nice useless links. First link mentions nothing about returning grass clippings, so you've missed the point entirely. Publications from Minnesota and Penn State both clearly state you can return grass clippings without increasing thatch production. Read through Turgeon's or Christians' books and you'll notice neither of them recommend adding kitty litter to a sodded area. I don't know why I waste my time with you. I guess I enjoy the extreme level of bullshit that you present as scientific.
Soil aeration will probably help, I would then get some more grass seed and sprinkle then water in missing patches. If you don't have a means to aerate the ground mechanically, they make liquid soil aerator that you can snag on Amazon or some supply stores like Rural King, maybe some big box stores.

It looks like you got Bermudagrass? If so it will spread some on its own but overseeding seems to help IMHO. I usually have to do that at least once in areas where a lawn has been neglected or just new planted areas.
